Ryan Gusto and four relievers limited the Giants to four hits as the Marlins won their eighth straight at home. Miami is a major league best 14-4 in June. Neither team scored after López snapped a 1-all tie in the fourth when his line drive rolled to the warning track in right and scored Stowers from first. Stowers drew a two-out-walk, the only one issued by Logan Webb. Webb (4-5) scattered five hits over eight innings for his first complete game of the season and fourth of his career. The right-hander has completed eight innings in each of his last three outings. John King (4-1) relieved Gusto and threw 1 1/3 innings. Calvin Faucher got the next four outs and Michael Petersen threw a perfect eighth. Lake Bachar allowed a leadoff walk against Rafael Devers in the ninth but then retired Jung Hoo Lee and Willy Adames for his first save. Casey Schmitt singled twice for San Francisco. Stowers gave Miami an early lead with his homer to lead off the second. He drove the first pitch from Webb 426 feet into the center-field seats for his eighth homer. The Giants tied it on Schmitt’s run-scoring single in the third. Gusto gave up one run and three hits while striking out six over 4 1/3 innings. Before the game, the Marlins placed slugger Liam Hicks on the injured list because of a low back strain and designated infielder Christopher Morel for assignment. Up next Giants: LHP Robbie Ray (5-6, 4.07) will start the opener of a three-game home series against the Athletics on Tuesday. The Athletics have not announced a starter. Marlins: RHP Tyler Phillips (1-2, 3.10) will start the opener of a three-game home set against the Texas Rangers on Monday. The Rangers have not announced a starter.","url":"https://wsvn.com/sports/miami-marlins/kyle-stowers-homers-and-marlins-beat-giants-2-1/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Litzy Grijalba","publishDate":"2026-06-21T20:39:54.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F050226-marlins-5.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"kyle-stowers-homers-and-marlins-beat-giants-2-1"},{"id":"knay7b","archiveId":"c3k4ff","title":"How playing in the U.S. may be fueling Lionel Messi's latest World Cup run","excerpt":"Lionel Messi's move to America will look like a masterstroke if he leads Argentina to back-to-back World Cup titles.His decision to join Inter Miami in 2023 has already been good for all parties, raising the profile of soccer in the United States, delivering titles for his club and writing a new cha","content":"Lionel Messi's move to America will look like a masterstroke if he leads Argentina to back-to-back World Cup titles.His decision to join Inter Miami in 2023 has already been good for all parties, raising the profile of soccer in the United States, delivering titles for his club and writing a new chapter in his storied career. But Argentina could be the biggest winner of all, with Messi arriving at what might be his last World Cup with his powers still at stratospheric levels aged 38. \"Leo will be the best for as long as he wants; he has been doing it every single match for the last 20 years,\" said Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni.Thierry Henry described him as \"on the moon\" after his hat trick in Argentina's opening game against Algeria.\"Leo is just different. It's just a different topic,\" Henry told Fox Sports. Messi scored his first hat trick at a World Cup and also moved level on 16 goals with Miroslav Klose as the leading scorer in tournament history. \"I tried to prepare myself in the best possible way to feel good physically, to feel useful, and to be able to help the group,\" Messi said. That's an understatement.Despite saying the last World Cup was likely his last, Messi is once again at the heart of the Argentina team, its biggest creative and attacking threat. At this stage of his career, that was far from guaranteed.\"We should be used to this, but if you ever needed any more confirmation that when it comes to Argentina, Messi is the system, he is the tactic, he's the formation, he's the identity and he is the heart,\" Fox analyst Alexi Lalas said after the 3-0 win against Algeria. \"It was something to behold.\"Messi left behind the intensity of European soccer to join Inter Miami in 2023, delivering a massive boost for Major League Soccer.He said he wanted to \"live football in another way\" and while that included changes to his home life in the U.S., there was also a step down in the level of competition compared to Europe's top leagues.But at a time when top players are warning of burnout because of soccer's increasingly congested calendar, Messi appears to be benefiting from making the move. He has played fewer games in the U.S. than at the height of his Barcelona career when he could play in excess of 50 a season. His performance at the start of this World Cup shows he hasn't lost his sharpness even if he is not regularly facing the world's top defenders in MLS.\"I love to play, to compete. And no matter where it is, today I find myself at another World Cup, which brings extra happiness, but I prepare myself just as I have done throughout my entire career,\" he said.Many people already rated the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner as the greatest soccer player of all time. But even past his peak years, he has hit new heights on the sport's biggest stage.His long-awaited World Cup triumph in 2022 came after his move away from Barcelona, where he was winning Champions League titles and setting scoring records, but repeatedly fell short with Argentina in international tournaments. He was at Paris Saint-Germain when, as a 35-year-old and playing in his fifth World Cup, he finally managed to win the one trophy that had eluded him. Again, Argentina may have been the beneficiary of its icon taking a step down at club level.While PSG hoped Messi's arrival could deliver the Champions League, the domestic competition in France is not regarded as highly as Spain's. Messi no longer faced such intense soccer on a weekly basis.He went on to produce his finest form at a World Cup in 2022, scoring seven goals, including two in the final as Argentina beat France in a penalty shootout. He managed just one goal at the previous edition in Russia.He is back again four years later and looks like he is in the mood for more. His Inter Miami teammate Rodrigo De Paul has spoken of the extra training both players had put in to ensure they were in peak condition for the tournament. \"We killed ourselves to, physically, arrive in the best way,\" De Paul said.Messi, meanwhile, has taken inspiration from Rafa Nadal after watching the Netflix docuseries on the tennis great's drive to stay at the top of his game.\"I am very similar in that sense. I always want to feel good. As long as I can and I am well, I will be there,\" Messi said.For his teammates, he is simply the biggest inspiration. \"What Leo transmits is spectacular, it is hard to explain,\" said Scaloni. \"His teammates view him both as a God and as a kid from the neighborhood.\"Honestly, you just run out of words. Beyond the goals he scores, it is what he transmits—both to his teammates and to the fans. We will miss him.\"___AP sports writer Debora Rey contributed to this report from Dallas.___James Robson is at https://x.com/jamesalanrobson___AP World Cup: https://apnews.com/fifa-world-cup","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/argentina-may-have-america-to-thank-for-lionel-messis-latest-world-cup-heroics/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-21T20:25:15.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F21%2Fa2006a87-538a-4c4a-aed7-f7a5aa1feb4f%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Ff82e2c381bdaa8ea96bda327cc4d7aef%2Fap26168099210007.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"how-playing-in-the-us-may-be-fueling-lionel-messis-latest-world-cup-run"},{"id":"qxd3i5","archiveId":"7940o8","title":"How to watch Uruguay vs. Cape Verde today: TV channel, streaming and kickoff time","excerpt":"Two teams looking for a breakthrough result in Group H will take the field Sunday evening when Uruguay faces Cape Verde at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.Both nations enter the match after opening draws in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The nearby Well Fire, which has scorched more than 2,700 acres, was 85% contained, according to the Florida Forest Service. Officials said containment efforts continue on the remaining hot spots, but conditions have improved significantly.Wildfires continue to burn in Miami-Dade on Friday, June 19, 2026.The progress allowed crews to reopen all southbound lanes of Florida's Turnpike that had been closed between Okeechobee Road (U.S. 27) and Northwest 41st Street to support firefighting operations. Krome Avenue, however, remained closed between Okeechobee Road and Southwest 8th Street through Saturday evening.The Coptic Fire has burned about 5,700 acres and was 60% contained as of Sunday afternoon.Earlier this week, thick smoke from the fires and intentionally set backfires used to contain the blazes forced major traffic disruptions across western Miami-Dade, sending drivers onto congested surface streets and prompting evacuation orders for some residents.Residents forced to flee as wildfires burned across South FloridaAs the Quarry 2 and Well fires were raging across the South Florida landscape, local officials were urging residents in the area to grab what they could and get out of the area.\"We all had to leave from the trailers,\" a resident named Roxana said. \"Basically, they said that they were starting another fire to control the other one. So, everyone had to leave. They're making everyone leave.\"Marshall Jones, who owns Mack's Fish Camp and Jones Trailer Park, described the scene as the blaze neared the conservation area.\"The smoke density here was chokeable. The visibility was down to maybe 100 feet, and the ability to breathe normally was very impeded by how heavy the smoke was,\" Jones said.Jones remained on-site to assist fire rescue crews in positioning equipment. \"It was just a very rapid-paced, hairy scenario. Everybody was on edge because the fire was about to jump Krome Avenue into the conservation area,\" he said. \"When that happened, the fuel on this side of the levee is even more than on the other side, so we were bracing for the worst-case scenario.\"Wildfire smoke in Miami-Dade, Broward led to air quality concernsThe Quarry and Well wildfires created challenges for firefighters and health concerns for residents as the smoke and ash drifted across South Florida.\"Smoke can travel for miles impacting air quality. Smoke from brush fires contains small particles and some pollutants that can affect your overall health but especially your lungs,\" MDFR's Erika Benitez said.Thick smoke and flames can be seen as two large wildfires burn near the Florida Everglades in west Miami-Dade on June 17, 2026. CBS News Miami Officials urged people near the smoke to keep doors and windows closed and remain inside.

We see the dysfunction in what has happened in Washington D.C. over the years.

The vote was unanimous.After the vote, visitors and commissioners alike gave a standing ovation to retired judge Steve Leifman, who has spent his career fighting to provide care and treatment to those in the criminal justice system suffering from mental illness.\"This man never gave up, he never lost hope,\" said Miami Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, in a press conference following the meeting with Judge Leifman at her side. \"There were definitely times when we weren't quite sure how we were going to get this across the finish line, but his total dedication, his passion, his knowledge and experience, and he's like the Pied Piper.\"Leifman appeared more exhausted than happy, acknowledging the fight to get the center approved had taken far too long. He said there is still a stigma surrounding mental illness.\"This isn't something most people want to talk about; it's easy to ignore,\" Leifman said. \"Most of the reform you see in the United States is coming through the judiciary. It's not the executive or legislative branches, and it's really because we're on the front lines. I used to tell people, and it wasn't a joke, that as a judge in the criminal division, I saw more people with serious mental illnesses in a day than most psychiatrists saw in a month. And that says it all.\"At any given moment, a thousand people with mental illnesses are languishing in Miami-Dade's jails, not receiving the treatment they desperately need. This center could help many of them trapped in a system where the only real crime is being homeless and mentally ill.Voters approved a bond issue to build the center back in 2004.And after numerous delays, the building was finally completed two years ago. Yet it remained empty, helping no one, caught up in the type of petty politics that is typical of Miami-Dade government.Asked how he was feeling after the vote, Leifman told CBS News Miami's Jim DeFede, he was \"a little overwhelmed, but appreciative.\"\"You know, I wish it didn't take this long,\" he continued. \"Politics, I guess, are what they are. But I think the most gratifying part is once the community learned about the issue, they stepped up, too. And I don't think we would have gotten the response we got today without that happening. And I just appreciate that it got done. And I mostly appreciate the fact that we're going to help the most vulnerable people that need it.\"He said his experience shows that if people are treated early, and aren't just allowed to sit untreated in jail, they have a much better chance of recovering.\"We know today that for people who go long periods of time without treatment, who are psychotic,\" Leifman said, \"the gray matter in the brain is getting destroyed. It's like having a heart attack and letting someone lie out on the street – the heart gets permanently damaged. Well, the same is true with the brain. And so we need to move upstream, we need to act quicker.\"\"I was concerned, but I got to tell you, I never gave up hope, never, and I just deep down have always believed, and maybe it's my personality or how I was raised, if you do the right thing for the right reason, the good people are going to stand with you. And they did. And so I never give up. I doubt sometimes, but generally, you know, I felt pretty good, and when you came into the picture, it gave me renewed hope. And it didn't change. And so, thank you to you, your station, and the legacy of your station, which has always dealt with this issue. So thank you,\" he said. So why did it take so long?There were mistakes made by the center's supporters, including Judge Leifman, who promised the center would pay for itself. Nothing is ever free.But there was also a lot of pettiness by critics whose motivation seemed to be rooted in the desire to prevent Raquel Regalado, the commissioner sponsoring the legislation to open the center, a victory.For months, a handful of county commissioners – most notably Chairman Anthony Rodriguez and fellow commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgens – blocked the center from coming up for a vote.And even though funding for the first three years of the center was already in place, they kept wondering if a county with a $15 billion annual budget could really afford to pick up a projected $12 million shortfall for the center in five years. (Leifman disputes that shortfall and said once the center opens, they will be able to apply for grants and other sources of funding. He said his fundraising efforts had been hampered by the uncertainty over the center's opening.)Earlier this month, during a special meeting of the county commission, it became obvious that Rodriguez and Cohen Higgins were fighting a losing battle, and the center had the support of a majority of commissioners.On Tuesday, Commissioner Kionne McGhee, a former prosecutor, said getting the center open was not only the right thing to do, but it may be one of the most important things they ever do as commissioners.\"We're going to pass hundreds, if not thousands, of pieces of legislation from this dais,\" he said. \"But I do honestly believe this is going to be one of the most consequential ones that we will be able to look back on and identify that moment in that memory; that actually gave birth to something that so many people in this community definitely need.\"Regalado thanked her fellow commissioners for their support.\"This was not easy when we started working on it, and we've come very far,\" she said. \"I know that there were moments that were difficult, but I truly believe that leadership is about creating consensus, not gagging it. So, I think that today is a wonderful day.\"The fight to open the center galvanized numerous groups across the community. Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski spoke out in support of the center. Business leaders, homeless advocates, community activists, and local and state politicians all kept the pressure on. One of the groups at the forefront was PACT – People Acting for Community Together. More than 800 people showed up recently at a forum to push for the mental health center and demand that the commission act.One of the leaders of PACT, Rabbi Jessica Jacobs from Temple Beth Shalom, said she never lost hope that their fight would succeed, although she admitted it was frustrating hearing some commissioners suggest helping people with mental illnesses might not be worth the expense.\"Money has always been the challenge,\" Rabbi Jacobs said. \"We spend money on so many things that in my mind are less important than this. And it has been a challenge the entire time. Why aren't we putting money towards the people in our community who are vulnerable when we're putting money toward so many other issues? I mean, that came up over and over and over again. It's certainly been frustrating, and I really commend the judge, and I commend our community for pushing forward and saying, if we're going to put money towards anything, it's towards this.\"\"It's a matter of setting priorities,\" she added.Another local activist from PACT, Tyisha Anthony, said this commission vote shows what can happen when ordinary people come together to fight for what is right and just.\"It wasn't an easy fight because we've been to this chamber many times and were disappointed,\" she said. \"We would walk away without them taking a vote, walk away with another delay. And to finally have it come to fruition and everyone unanimously on it, just it means the world, it means the world.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/miami-dade-commission-finally-approves-mental-health-facility-over-two-decades-after-it-was-promised/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Jim  DeFede","publishDate":"2026-06-21T16:07:39.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F04%2F19%2F7b82c7f3-b94c-49a5-8de8-60b907fea534%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F47e274777d91360de0033475f780a01a%2Fmental-health-interior.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"miami-dade-commission-finally-approves-mental-health-facility-over-two-decades-after-it-was-promised"},{"id":"nno6f9","archiveId":"6sgq1g","title":"1-on-1 with Shevrin Jones","excerpt":"With the retirement of Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, the race for Congressional District 24 is certainly one that will garner a lot of attention.

Instead, they were sent seeking shelter, but still proudly supporting their team. “This is what it’s all about. We’re hanging out with people from all the countries,” said Chavez. Before the rain started, Argentina fans gathered at Miami Beach’s historic Normandy Fountain to commemorate Argentina’s Flag Day and as a way to come together to showcase their national pride and culture. “We have, you know, the best player in the world, and I’m going to own that.

In April, the president launched an effort to address the pool's \"terrible\" condition, part of a slate of spring cleaning projects in Washington, D.C., ahead of the nation's 250th birthday — as Mr. Trump seeks to put his architectural stamp on the city. Mr. Trump had the pool's stone flooring coated with a sealant he called the \"latest and greatest filament\" and an \"industrial-grade\" variation of swimming pool liner. He told reporters he personally chose the sealant's color: \"American Flag Blue.\" Federal contracts for the project were valued at more than $14 million.But several days ago, after water was pumped back in, a sheen of green algae appeared.A family of ducks swims among algae in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on June 16. Photo by Emily Alff/Sipa USA via AP Images A Department of the Interior spokesperson told CBS News last weekend the algae outbreak was \"part of the normal startup process\" and would be cleaned out shortly.\"What you are seeing is residual algae from the supply lines which have been sitting dormant for eight weeks while construction has been taking place,\" the spokesperson said. \"President Donald J. Trump is an expert builder who has fixed the Reflecting Pool for good unlike the failed and extremely costly attempt by Obama and Biden.\"Workers were seen in recent days removing algae from the Reflecting Pool, and on Tuesday morning, crews dumped bottles of hydrogen peroxide into the water.

Mehmet Eser/Anadolu via Getty Images A white plume of \"ozone nano bubbles\" is put into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as it is cleaned of algae on June 16. AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin The Department of the Interior said on social media Wednesday that the water is now \"crystal clear,\" and workers were \"vacuuming up the dead algae.\" Moving forward, the agency said it is using an advanced tool called a \"nanobubbler\" to prevent algae from reappearing in the Reflecting Pool.Then, on Thursday, a tear was spotted in part of the material that was applied to the floor of the pool. CBS News has reached out to the Department of the Interior for more information.Seen through algae-laden green water, a tear in the recently applied sealant can be seen on the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on June 18. Chip Somodevilla / Getty Images In a Truth Social post Friday night, Mr. Trump alleged, without providing evidence, that three days prior, vandals had \"destroyed the grass outside of the Pool\" and had \"also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed.\"Mr. Trump went on to say in his post Friday that \"[t]he algae is 75% gone, and the condition will soon be completely remedied, and the area that was vandalized, fortunately, is just a small area of damage, and will be fixed early next week.\"The Trump administration's renovations mark the second time in less than 20 years that the Reflecting Pool was overhauled, following a more than $30 million project early in the Obama administration. Despite those efforts, the pool still faced algae blooms and needed to be emptied out periodically to clean out algae, goose droppings and other detritus.Mr. Trump vowed in April to make the Reflecting Pool \"beautiful\" and \"the way it's supposed to be.\" At one point, when workers were installing the new sealant, the president rode in his motorcade onto the dried-out pool floor — which is the length of about 12 Olympic-sized swimming pools — and inspected the job. It's the latest renovation project in and around D.C. spearheaded by the Trump administration. The president's team also repaired fountains throughout the city, tore down the White House's East Wing to make way for a ballroom, attempted to close the Kennedy Center for renovations, and drew up plans for a gigantic triumphal arch across the river from the capital in Virginia.The real estate developer-turned-politician has taken a personal interest in many of the projects, displaying mock-ups and speaking at length about the plans during White House events.Mr. Trump and his administration have cast the renovations as much-needed efforts to beautify national landmarks they argue were neglected for years. Critics, however, have called some of the projects self-aggrandizing and accused Mr. Trump of making dramatic changes without getting permission from Congress or input from the public. Several of the projects drew lawsuits, and a judge blocked the administration from closing the Kennedy Center or renaming it to add Mr. Trump's name.The newly refurbished Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is contaminated by algae, as seen from the Washington Monument on June 17.

At last week’s city council meeting, Greystar Development got the green light to move forward with a “mall mixed-use district” designation for residential infrastructure to be developed at the Miami International Mall at 1455 NW 107th Ave. James Williams Jr., a shareholder at Gunster representing Greystar, presented what developers envision the Sears and JCPenney sites would look like with luxury residential development. “We have to anticipate and look at the maximum development potential possible, and the reason we look at maxing it out is simply for infrastructure purposes. We can’t approve something without knowing that the infrastructure is in place, knowing that they could go to the max development of it,” he told city officials. “We’ve analyzed the existing business at 836,000 square feet, approximately, even though the mall itself in that area is currently built out at 341,336 square feet; that’s the JCPenney, and that’s with the Sears building.” Already submitted for review, phase one would consist of 292 apartment units, and phase two, which would be on the east side of the Sears site, would have 230 units, he said. “Now, site three (JCPenney property) is not going to be submitted for some time under the development master development agreement. Site three, if they use creative excellence from the previous two sites, will get 374 units,” Mr. Williams continued. “We analyzed 836,000 square feet of retail development versus 896 units of maximum development potential under residential. When you do the traffic analysis, you actually have a reduction of 26,391 daily trips. That is a huge reduction – a.m. peak hours are reduced by 274 trips, and then your p.m. rush hour is reduced by 1,412, so a significant reduction.” The proposed sites would also include 20% of open space and a minimum of 1.5 parking spaces per unit. Benefits for the neighborhood would include enhancing property values with the beautiful buildings coming in, and retail attraction where residents would live right next door, Mr. Williams said. “So, residents can come over, and they can have the benefit of entertainment, retail, and food access with the 11 tenants that are coming in,” he added. “The whole purpose of this district is to create that functionality between the residential and the commercial. It really goes above and beyond, and this really fits perfectly with the 15-minute neighborhood. Essentially, what you want when you’re urban planning, you want to have everything within 15 minutes of a walk.” The city has been working on this for quite some time, and it has been a long journey, commented Mayor Christi Fraga. “I know that there was a lot of thought and intention put into this when this was first discussed. There were a lot of concerns throughout the community about what could potentially take place with creating the district,” she said. “I think that the way it was done was really methodical for the area that hopefully one day will be considered a high transit-oriented district, because it’s close to the rail, you’ve got access to two expressways, and really leading into a third, so the connectivity is there.” The infrastructure is there for it to invite this type of redevelopment and community, but it’s also not overbearing, Mayor Fraga continued. “I think the density is the right amount. We really thought about the heights, which was something that was important in that area,” she added. “The way that Doral has been planned, and the way you all came to the table, and we were able to find a product that would stand the test of time, and that would not jeopardize the quality of life of Doral to revitalize the area was very intentional.” The post Miami International Mall to add three buildings for housing appeared first on Miami Today.","url":"https://www.miamitodaynews.com/2026/06/17/miami-international-mall-to-add-three-buildings-for-housing/","source":"Miami Today","author":"Abraham Galvan","publishDate":"2026-06-17T07:15:00.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":2,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.miamitodaynews.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FMiami-International-Mall.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"miami-international-mall-to-add-three-buildings-for-housing"},{"id":"io1nhg","archiveId":"ykm3ww","title":"Court ends fight to build Miami Wilds water theme park","excerpt":"A long-sought waterpark plan beside Zoo Miami that had struggled for years with the Miami tiger beetle, Bartram’s scrub hairstreak, Carter’s small-flowered flax and threats to Miami-Dade County’s pine rocklands has finally succumbed not to wildlife but to the courts.

County officials last week announced a victory after the Eleventh Judicial District circuit court granted the county’s motion for summary judgment and rescinded the lease agreement with Miami Wilds LLC, with the county saying that the ruling closed the case. The dispute surrounded the proposed development on county land adjacent to the zoo. “The decision ensures that Miami-Dade County remains compliant with its public park purposes deed restrictions in a manner that best serves residents and protects public assets,” a county statement said. Efforts to create a water theme park on the site date back more than 20 years, when then-commissioner Dennis Moss sought such a use as a way to build the South Dade economy that had been battered by Hurricane Andrew. In October 2020 the county agreed to lease 27.5 acres adjacent to the zoo for 40 years, with two 20-year renewal terms creating a potential 80-year term with the developer. A memorandum from former Mayor Carlos Giménez estimated the initial 40-year term would bring the county $37.3 million from the water park, $8.4 million from a recreation area, $13.8 million from a family hotel, and $61.2 million from zoo visitor parking, for a total revenue of $120.7 million. But the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in December 2021 designate 1,977 Miami-Dade acres as critical habitat for the Miami tiger beetle, directly impacting Zoo Miami and the Miami Wilds water park project. At a meeting with the Fish and Wildlife Service, some county residents asked for approval of the designation and suggested an even bigger area, while others pointed to concerns regarding the impact on the functions and operations of nearby developments. The Miami tiger beetle is one of the smallest tiger beetles in the U.S. and is found only in the pine rocklands of the Miami Rock Ridge, outside the boundaries of Everglades National Park. In December 2014, the Fish and Wildlife Service received a petition from the Center for Biological Diversity, the Miami Blue Chapter of the North American Butterfly Association, South Florida Wildlands Association, Tropical Audubon Society, and others requesting that the Miami tiger beetle be emergency listed as endangered and that critical habitat be designated. In November 2016 the species was included on the nation’s endangered species list. “Zoo Miami supports designate areas becoming a critical habitat for Miami tiger beetle. However, we do wish to convey that the proposed critical habitat includes multiple areas of developed Zoo Miami land that has roadways, pathways, pavement buildings, and other structures but lack physical and biological features necessary for the Miami tiger beetle,” said Will Elgar, director of Zoo Miami, who spoke on behalf of Miami-Dade County. Miami Wilds waterpark representative Paul Lambert said at the time that several small areas were being proposed to be designated as tiger beetle habitats that “do not meet the definition of potential habitat based upon current regulations and supported as well by research and biological surveys…. We are asking the service to adopt appropriate modifications to the habitat area which we identified, given [that] maintaining the current proposed boundaries will have economic consequences.” Miami Wilds surfaced in an October 2023 county meeting when Commissioner Kionne McGhee offered a surprise motion that the county provide a status report on the decades-long water park effort. Pending litigation with the developers hamstrung commissioners, who were uncertain about what they could talk about at the public meeting. An eight-page letter from Miami Wilds developers had been emailed to Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and Chairman Oliver Gilbert on Oct 1. “It is difficult to conceive,” it began, “that after 27 years of planning, a series of nearly always unanimous votes by the Miami-Dade County Commission furthering the water park project at Zoo Miami, a voter referendum which overwhelming supported a mixed-use entertainment project … and an already approved long-term ground lease … that the county has taken the unprecedented step of suing Miami Wilds as a way to exit the ground lease through the federal courts…” “Accordingly,” the letter continued, “we are unable meet our obligations under the lease, not by any action of Miami Wilds, but as a result of errors and oversights by the county and federal agencies.” “Unbelievably,” the Miami Wilds letter stated, “after 27 years of planning … the commission and the administration are now questioning the suitability of the zoo parking lot to accommodate the water park. This is all being done without any credible evidence that the project would harm endangered species. Indeed, the credible evidence indicates the contrary.” “We very much want to build this long planned and important project for the community and zoo,” the Miami Wilds letter said. “Based upon our most recent analysis, the project will generate more than $2.25 million for the zoo in the first year alone, growing as the project performs and gains traction. On the day it opens, it will create more than 300 full-time jobs, and many multiples of that number … (in) part-time employment, making it one of the top 10 single-site private employers in South Dade.” The post Court ends fight to build Miami Wilds water theme park appeared first on Miami Today.","url":"https://www.miamitodaynews.com/2026/06/17/court-ends-fight-to-build-miami-wilds-water-theme-park/","source":"Miami Today","author":"Miami Today","publishDate":"2026-06-17T07:12:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":2,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.miamitodaynews.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2FMiami-Wilds.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"court-ends-fight-to-build-miami-wilds-water-theme-park"},{"id":"8h65s","archiveId":"e68ei8","title":"Years after completion, Mental Health Center gets OK to operate","excerpt":"County commissioners on Tuesday ended a long and contentious battle and agreed to open a seven-story, 181,000-square-foot mental health center that has been fully built, renovated and certified for occupancy since 2023 but has sat empty due to concerns about operating costs.

The commission vote was unanimous as multiple safeguard measures were added to the original plan, which had as its principal aim the shifting of repeat offenders with mental illness from jail cells to the treatment center in hopes of breaking a cycle of crime, jail and homelessness. Once open, the center is designed to provide a comprehensive, one-stop system of care for residents with serious mental illnesses, offering crisis stabilization, substance use treatment, residential and outpatient care, primary medical services, vocational training, transitional housing, and an on-site courtroom to expedite diversion from jail into treatment. Commission Chairman Anthony Rodriguez introduced the updated legislation establishing oversight, transparency, and accountability measures for the new Miami-Dade County Mental Health Center. Included in the additions are formal oversight through the county’s new Behavioral Health Advisory Board and require annual independent reviews conducted by healthcare and research professionals. The measure will require public reporting on patient outcomes, continuity of care, financial sustainability, utilization rates, and overall program effectiveness. It will also require annual evaluations of services to the homeless, including reviews of funding contributions from the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust. “Today’s unanimous vote represents an important step toward ensuring the Mental Health Center succeeds in its mission of helping residents while remaining accountable to taxpayers,” Mr. Rodriguez said in a written statement. “Expanding access to mental health care and maintaining strong oversight are not competing priorities. They go hand in hand.” Echoing concerns of some commissioners that the center’s financial burden could not be sustained for more than two years that were fully funded, Mr. Rodriguez asked in May that an independent review examine the long-term operational and financial sustainability of the facility at 2200 NW Second Ave. to help ensure continuity of care and avoid future operational or fiscal shortfalls that could be harmful to patients, staff, and taxpayers.

The contract, which won preliminary approval from the county’s Aviation and Seaport Committee this month, provides for financing, design, construction, development, management, operation and maintenance of a premium passenger lounge. The concept that AD Partnership proposed is Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club, a common-use and membership-based lounge built to serve both domestic and international travelers. The lounge is to offer premium seating areas, complimentary food and beverage service, made-to-order menu options, a full-service bar, Wi-Fi, business amenities, televisions, quiet areas and other hospitality services. AD would pay the Aviation Department 40% of the lounge’s gross revenues across all categories plus an annual fee that would average $3.46 million. In addition, the company would install a new passenger elevator and access improvements needed to operate the lounge. Approving the contact, county commissioners were told, would “elevate the passenger experience and strengthen non-aeronautical revenue streams as part of the airport’s long-term Future-Ready transformation.” Seven companies responded to the county’s call last July for bids to operate a facility on the site. Four of the bidders were local, but those four were deemed non-responsive to the bidding requirements. AD is based on Plano, Texas. County commissioners will have the final say on awarding the contract.

Ron DeSantis’ desk last week. If signed, Florida would join a growing list including 10 other states that have passed similar legislation. The measure would put into state law rules for gold and silver coins adopted by the Department of Financial Services and the Office of Financial Regulation. The rule changes followed lawmakers’ approval last year of a measure making the precious metal coins legal tender starting July 1, 2026. The 2025 law exempts qualifying gold and silver coins from sales tax; allows but does not require government entities to accept such coins electronically; and prohibits anyone from being compelled to use or accept such coins. The governor has until June 24 to act on the legislation. The Senate voted 31-1 on the measure, with Sen. Kathleen Passidomo of Naples casting the lone vote against. The House approved the proposal with a unanimous vote. Gold and silver coins, together termed specie, have recently been declared legal tender in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming. Together, those actions constitute a movement to reassert the monetary status of precious metals. Supporters elsewhere argue that treating investment-grade gold, silver and platinum bullion as taxable retail goods has created uneven competition for domestic dealers against out-of-state and online competitors. Eliminating the tax, they say, encourages domestic investment in physical metals and aligns them more closely with the federal laws governing our fiat money system of base metal coins and paper money The constitutional power to issue currency still resides with Congress. The legal tender laws allowing specie to be treated as an equal to Federal Reserve notes are said to have the advantage of allowing specie to be used as a hedge against inflation. The Florida measure is specific on what gold and silver coins would qualify to be recognized as legal tender in the state. To qualify, gold must be at least 99.5% pure and silver mus be at least 99.9% pure.

The county’s Recreation, Tourism and Resiliency Committee recommended last week that commissioners OK use until April 1, 2027, of the site the bird and animal rescue station has had since 1990. The station cares for about 2,700 native wildlife patients yearly, totaling 70,000 in its history. It has long planned to build a larger home but roadblocks “such as issues with permitting, brownfield remediation, archaeological work and the Covid 19 pandemic” delayed a move elsewhere by several years, the committee was told. “The continuation of this programming partnership aligns with the county’s strategic goal of maximizing public-private assets, preserves a unique park asset” and gives the seabird station time to move, a committee memo said. PAVING WAY FOR GRANTS: County commissioners have approved two restrictive covenants on Vizcaya Museum and Gardens at 3251 S Miami Ave. that will allow the museum to receive two grants, with Miami-Dade matching those grants to the county-owned property dollar for dollar. One grant of $750,000 from the federal Save America’s Treasures is to help conserve for 20 years the main house’s swimming pool grotto and its ceiling mural by Winthrop Chanle, including stabilizing the living room floor above the grotto. The other grant of $500,000 from the same program is to support preservation of the superintendent’s house on the Vizcaya grounds for 15 years. Vizcaya was conveyed in the 1950s by the heirs of original owner James Deering to the county. The site is now operated and managed by the nonprofit Vizcaya Museum and Gardens Trust. POWERFUL AIRPORT: Miami International Airport will replace the roofs of its North, Central and South terminals and add $125.7 million in new roofing that includes a solar voltaic system that will move the airport toward generating 7 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 4,200 to 7,000 homes. County commissioners approved the expenditure this month. More solar power is coming: Aviation Director Ralph Cutié told a committee that “we look to expand to our parking garages as well to reduce our electric bill.” The roof replacement is to take four years. The present roofs, about 16 years old, leak and pose risks of water damage. The new 410,000-square-foot roof system is to get a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty.

The new species was found in the jungles on Malaysia's part of Borneo, a large island known for its biodiverse rainforests. Samples were collected during multiple field trips conducted by the University of Malaysia Sabah's Institute for Tropical Biology and Conservation, and the research was published in the New Zealand Journal of Botany.It was dubbed a \"hyperparasite\" because it \"effectively parasitizes the primary pathogen,\" the institute's Deputy Director Jaya Seelan Sathiya Seelan told AFP on Friday.\"The fungus belongs to the genus Pleurocordyceps and acts as a specialized hyperparasite,\" Seelan said.The new species targets ants already infected by Ophiocordyceps, or \"zombie fungus,\" which manipulates the infected insect's nervous system and makes it behave erratically before killing it and bursting from its carcass.\"Rather than manipulating the insect's nervous system itself, Pleurocordyceps infiltrates and feeds directly on the thriving Ophiocordyceps tissue inside the host,\" Seelan said.Named after its unique, distinctly horn-shaped structure, Pleurocordyceps cornusynnemata was discovered after scientists studied a dead ant collected from the Danum Valley, a remote area in the Malaysian state of Sabah, the northern part of Borneo.\"The discovery highlights the immense scientific value of Borneo's rainforests, where intricate ecological interactions continue to challenge our understanding of life on Earth,\" the researchers said in a social media post on Friday. \"Beyond the excitement of finding a rare organism, this research underscores the importance of conserving tropical ecosystems that harbour countless species and ecological relationships yet to be documented.\"Malaysian scientists have discovered a new species of parasitic fungus in Borneo's jungles that preys on \"zombie fungus\" that are known to infect insects. University of Malaysia Sabah's Institute for Tropical Biology and Conservation The discovery was also published in Phytotaxa, the leading journal in taxonomic botany, in April.It is not the first hyperparasite of its kind, but \"it is the world's first known member of its genus to feature this highly distinct horn-shaped structure,\" Seelan said.During the field trips, scientists also discovered a new species of spider-killing fungus, which spreads spores through the arachnid before killing it.\"These newly documented fungi hold immense potential ... both as sources for developing next-generation antimicrobial drugs and as highly effective biocontrol agents against agricultural pests,\" Seelan said.While the idea of \"zombie fungus\" sounds scary, experts say humans shouldn't be worried. Dr. Jim Kronstad, a microbiologist at the University of British Columbia, told CBS News that it's not possible for cordyceps fungi to adapt from infecting insects to humans, as depicted in a storyline in the hit HBO series \"The Last of Us.\" Our body temperature and immunity prevent most fungal species from adapting to the human body because they cannot survive beyond 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/parasite-zombie-fungus-malaysia-borneo-discovery/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-19T15:29:59.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F19%2Fcf4e42d0-59ec-45f1-99d8-e633dbb16c49%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F9a6acaa6bbe12b5e9146dbd19056093b%2Fparasite-zfns.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"scientists-discover-new-parasite-in-jungle-that-preys-on-insect-killing-zombie-fungus"},{"id":"6te2os","archiveId":"b0abof","title":"Investigation underway after a man was found dead under a Miami-Dade bridge","excerpt":"Deputies are investigating a disturbing discovery in Northeast Miami-Dade.

Jakob Marsee doubled and singled for the Marlins, who are 13-4 in June and improved to 39-38 to move above .500 for the first time since April 13, when they were 9-8. Meyer (8-0) labored through his outing, allowing seven hits, striking out seven and walking two. But he completed a perfect fifth to surpass Dontrelle Willis in franchise history to start the season with eight straight wins. Willis won his first seven decisions in 2005. Casey Schmitt doubled twice and homered for the Giants, who stranded nine runners. The Marlins chased Giants starter Trevor McDonald (2-5) during a four-run fourth. Hernandez’s two-run blast against reliever Matt Gage capped the scoring and put Miami ahead 6-2. Marsee also hit an RBI single and Otto López scored from third on a double-play groundout with the bases loaded. With this single in the fourth, López became the first player to reach 100 hits in the majors this season. Schmitt’s RBI double in the eighth narrowed the gap before Pete Fairbanks pitched a perfect ninth for his 11th save. McDonald allowed five runs and three hits in three-plus innings. He walked three and hit three batters. It was the right-hander’s second consecutive outing in which he failed to complete four innings. The Giants erased their second one-run deficit in the early innings with Schmitt’s solo homer in the fourth, his 16th. Xavier Edwards reached on a fielding error by McDonald that allowed Joe Mack to score from third and give the Marlins a 2-1 lead in the second. Owen Caissie walked with the bases loaded in the first to put Miami on the board. San Francisco tied it on Drew Gilbert’s RBI single in the second.

Hours before it was to be signed, however, Israeli jets struck Lebanon's capital Beirut, killing at least three people.\"This morning's attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran,\" Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social.His call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu soon after was less diplomatic.\"What the f*** are you doing?\" he asked his close ally, according to Fox News' Trey Yingst. \"Why did Bibi have to do a f*****g attack?\" the President said to Axios shortly after. \"I was so pissed off. I let him know. He has no f*****g judgement.\"It was a remarkable exchange between world leaders whose relationship has vacillated dramatically, and often publicly, over the course of many years. \"Who the f*** does he think he is?\"The answer to President Trump's question about why Netanyahu ordered the Beirut attack cuts to the heart of how the more than three-and-a-half month Iran war has driven a wedge between the two leaders.Mr. Trump campaigned on a promise to end \"forever wars.\" He told Americans the joint U.S.-Israeli war with Iran would last a maximum of six weeks (among many and varying estimates), and he suggested the objective was a Venezuela-style operation. It quickly became clear that such a brief foray was not in the cards, however. More recently, with midterms looming in November and Americans' views on both the war and Mr. Trump becoming less favorable, he has appeared keen to extract the U.S. and get the Strait of Hormuz reopened to ease global gas and oil prices.Netanyahu, on the other hand, has never supported a political agreement with Iran's theocratic rulers. He has called it his \"life's work\" to ensure Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon, and promised this war would end in a \"total victory.\"On the second day of joint U.S.-Israeli strikes, Netanyahu called it something he had \"been hoping to do for 40 years, to strike the terrorist regime squarely in the face,\" and he thanked \"my friend, the President of the United States, Donald Trump,\" for joining in the mission.Netanyahu is also facing an election, in October at the latest, and if he's seen to have failed to meet his objectives, it may make his job harder to hold onto — and make it more likely that he'll have to face a longstanding corruption trial waiting for him when he exits Israel's highest office. To the north, thousands of Israelis remain displaced from their homes due to the threat of rocket and drone attacks by Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. A large majority of Israelis want their country to keep fighting Hezbollah until it is completely quashed. \"Netanyahu, for political reasons, can't end this war because he hasn't delivered these incredible promises, and because he doesn't want to face a reckoning with the Israeli public,\" Anshel Pfeffer, a veteran Israel correspondent for The Economist, told CBS News on Thursday. \"It was pretty clear, I think, from the very beginning of the war that this would be the junction where Netanyahu and Trump would part ways.\"Netanyahu has riled American presidents before. Bill Clinton reportedly said after meeting him in 1996, \"Who the f**k does he think he is?\" President Biden, in 2024, reportedly called him \"a bad f*****g guy.\"But Mr. Trump's recent public excoriations of Netanyahu were unprecedented — and a far cry from a warm February meeting. So how did it come to this?Israel's \"greatest friend\"In the year leading up to the war, the pair were tight. In February 2025, Netanyahu was the first foreign leader Mr. Trump welcomed to the White House during his second term. President Trump meets with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Feb. 4, 2025. ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS/AFP/Getty Bibi — a longtime nickname for Netanyahu that Trump uses often — called his American counterpart \"the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House.\" He praised Mr. Trump for moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and for pulling the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal brokered by former President Barack Obama.That October, Mr. Trump received several standing ovations as he addressed Israel's parliament during a visit to Jerusalem. He called Netanyahu \"one of the greatest wartime presidents,\" but he threw in: \"He's not the easiest guy to deal with, but that's what makes him great.\"They remained largely in praise of one another until Feb. 28 this year, when the U.S. and Israel launched their joint strikes on Iran, killing the country's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and sparking an all-out war.\"On occasion, he'll do something\"The leaders seemed to remain in lockstep after the war began. But in mid-March, an Israeli strike on Iran's South Pars, part of the world's largest natural gas field, brought an early sign of discord as it sent energy prices skyrocketing. Asked whether he had spoken with Netanyahu about the strikes, Mr. Trump said: \"I did. I told him, don't do that, and he won't do that.\"\"We get along great. It's coordinated, but on occasion, he'll do something, and if I don't like it … and so we're not doing that anymore,\" he said.Netanyahu said Israel had \"acted alone,\" and he denied claims that Israel had dragged the U.S. into the war. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had told lawmakers not long before that, \"we knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.\"\"Does anyone really think that someone can tell President Trump what to do? Come on,\" Netanyahu said after the South Pars strikes.A member of the Iranian community in Australia holds a placard in support of President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a rally amid joint U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran, in Sydney, March 14, 2026. Saeed KHAN/AFP/Getty In early April, the Trump administration sounded triumphant as Pakistan brokered a two-week truce between the U.S. and Iran, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth saying \"Iran begged for this ceasefire.\" Israel quickly said the agreement \"does not include Lebanon,\" and it pummeled the country's south, killing hundreds of people in widespread strikes.U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff reportedly told Netanyahu to \"calm down\" and open negotiations with Lebanon, which he did. But Israeli officials said a ceasefire with Hezbollah was out of the question.\"He'll do whatever I want\"On May 20, with indirect U.S.-Iran talks yielding little as Israel and Hezbollah's parallel war raged, Mr. Trump and Netanyahu had a \"lengthy and dramatic\" conversation, according to Israel's Channel 12.When asked hours later what he said to Netanyahu, Mr. Trump replied: \"He's fine, he'll do whatever I want him to do.\"But 12 days later, as an agreement between the U.S. and Iran appeared imminent, Netanyahu ordered strikes on Hezbollah in southern Beirut, and Iran threatened to walk away from negotiations altogether.\"You're f*****g crazy,\" Mr. Trump blared over the phone, a U.S. official told Axios. \"You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.\"\"What the f*** are you doing?\" he yelled, according to another source. The White House never denied the remarks.Netanyahu said afterward that he had told Mr. Trump Israel would attack Beirut if Hezbollah didn't stop attacking Israel. Mr. Trump later dismissed the incident as the kind of \"tactical disagreements\" typical in a family.Emergency personnel work at the site of an Israeli strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon, June 7, 2026. Mohamed Azakir/REUTERS But on June 7, the president told Fox News he was \"not happy\" about further Israeli strikes on Beirut, which triggered an Iranian attack on Israel, again jeopardizing ceasefire talks.Speaking to the Financial Times, Mr. Trump said Netanyahu \"won't have any choice\" but to accept a U.S.-Iran agreement. \"I call all the shots,\" Mr. Trump said. \"He [Netanyahu] doesn't call the shots.\" Israel struck Iran again, but on June 8, Netanyahu announced a halt in operations, adding that Israel maintained the right to defend itself against any attack.\"I say this, with appreciation and respect, in my good conversations with my friend, President Trump,\" the Israeli leader said.\"The very small partner\"Mr. Trump's announcement on Sunday of an agreement with Iran caught Netanyahu by surprise, according to Axios. Some of the Israeli leader's media allies started attacking the U.S. president, with one TV host calling Mr. Trump a \"loser.\"\"With an agreement, without an agreement — Iran will not have nuclear weapons,\" Netanyahu declared Tuesday on X. \"As long as I am Prime Minister of Israel — this will not happen.\"At the G7 summit in France this week, Mr. Trump said Netanyahu \"gets a little excited sometimes. But we have an amazing partnership. We are the big partner and he is the very small partner.\"\"Without me, there would be no Israel,\" Mr. Trump said. \"Israel would have been blown up a long time ago had I not gotten involved.\"Netanyahu's dilemmaNetanyahu is now in a bind, The Economist's Pfeffer told CBS News, \"because his political capital is invested in two things: One is this conflict with Iran, which he's been talking up for so many years, and the other is his incredible relationship with Donald Trump that he's been talking up ever since Donald Trump became president in 2016. And now he seems to be losing both of these, and he is stuck.\"Pfeffer was doubtful, however, that Mr. Trump would seek to materially punish the Israeli leader.\"We've seen Trump swearing at Bibi and then the next day saying, 'Oh, he's a wonderful prime minister,'\" he said.Aaron David Miller, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace who served six U.S. secretaries of state as an adviser on Arab-Israeli negotiations, agreed.\"Is Trump frustrated with Netanyahu? Yes. He has said things publicly that no other American president has ever said about an Israeli prime minister,\" he told CBS News Wednesday. \"The question is how is the president making these divisions real?\"The U.S. has not delayed military assistance, stopped intelligence sharing or stopped defending Israel as a veto-wielding member of the United Nations Security Council, he noted, adding that those options still seemed \"completely off the table.\"\"What Trump can do to punish Netanyahu is to deny him what needs most\" ahead of October's Israeli elections, Miller said. That, he said, would be saying the U.S.-Israel relationship is \"suffering, not because of me, Donald Trump, but because of Benjamin Netanyahu.\"Miller added that, in his view, however, \"Donald Trump does not want a major rupture with Netanyahu.\"\"A little dispute\"Much now likely depends on Lebanon. The U.S.-Iran agreement signed by Mr. Trump includes a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, but Israel has insisted it will not withdraw from the neighboring country unless and until the Hezbollah threat is completely removed. While diplomats said Friday that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to a new ceasefire, it came after a night of intense clashes that Lebanese officials say left 18 civilians dead, while Israel said four soldiers were killed.And the next phase in the U.S.-Iran deal, direct talks that had been scheduled to start Friday in Switzerland, have been put on hold.\"We have a little dispute over Lebanon,\" Mr. Trump told reporters in France on Wednesday. \"I'm not happy with the way Israel has handled themselves.\"The question is whether Mr. Trump \"is prepared to impose a cost or consequence on this Israeli prime minister\" if the fighting in Lebanon continues holding up his bid to end the war with Iran, said Miller.\"If Trump feels he's being 'played' by the Iranians,\" however, with Tehran declining to restrain its Hezbollah allies, then \"Netanyahu's room for maneuver will increase,\" noted Miller. And Bibi may be banking on it.\"Netanyahu is looking for any justification to somehow undermine this memorandum of understanding and the negotiations that will follow,\" Miller told CBS News.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/iran-war-trump-netanyahu-us-israel-united-then-divided/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Frank  Andrews","publishDate":"2026-06-20T12:59:03.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F19%2Fcd2cb0aa-5df1-4ac9-946c-c86a17362267%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fe5c90e07f5ea561bfd26d81ff0715226%2Fgettyimages-2265919284.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"how-the-iran-war-united-and-then-divided-trump-and-israels-netanyahu"},{"id":"qytd66","archiveId":"niyir1","title":"USA wins World Cup group by defeating Australia, coupled with Paraguay’s win over Turkey","excerpt":"Seattle (CNN) — The United States is through to the knockout rounds of the 2026 World Cup after a 2-0 win over Australia in a game that got increasingly tense in the second half despite a comfortable American lead.

Following up on their brilliant 4-1 win over Paraguay a week ago would always be a tall task, but the Americans looked strong in the opening 45 minutes against the Aussies – though there remain some blinking warning signs about the Stars and Stripes’ defense. The win means that the US is guaranteed to go through to the next round of the World Cup, when it becomes a single-elimination tournament. And with Paraguay’s win against Turkey on Friday night, the Americans locked up the top spot in Group D. The US next plays at 10 p.m. ET on Thursday against Turkey at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The match is just the second time the US has won two World Cup games in the group stage. The last time the Americans pulled off such a feat was in 1930, the inaugural tournament. The first goal came about through the kind of incisive and free-flowing attack that had been a hallmark of the contest in SoFi Stadium one week ago. The move started with Falorin Balogun charging into the Aussie penalty area and sending a cross toward Ricardo Pepi, who was playing for the injured Christian Pulisic. Australian defender Cameron Burgess couldn’t get out of the way and the ball was firmly knocked into the goal for a 1-0 US lead in the 11th minute. The crowd roared when the ball slammed into the net – a cacophony of sound reverberating around the stadium. The joy wasn’t lost on the American players not starting this match as they ran out of the technical area leaping and jumping for joy while pumping their fists into the air. The goal marked a World Cup first. The first USA goal in their opening match against Paraguay was also an own goal, marking the first time in the tournament’s nearly 100-year history that a team’s opening goal in its first two games were scored by their opponents. The early goal eased some US worries given that Pulisic was ruled out of Friday’s matchup with Australia after suffering a calf injury in the World Cup opener against Paraguay last week. Fans had been rightly questioning if Pulisic would be able to go against the Australians. The captain, whose skill and flair have propelled him to be the face of the team for years, is nursing a left calf injury and spent most of the week training on his own away from his teammates. Through the first 20-some-odd minutes at a very loud Lumen Field, Pulisic’s absence did not seem to be weighing on the Americans. The threatening US attack from the Paraguay match last week appeared to be back in spades and the USA had multiple other opportunities to get the ball in the back of the net. However, there are some signs that the USA’s key weakness – its defense – could be a risk in future contests. In the minutes before the first half hydration break, the Australians were able to win a couple corners and put some pressure on Freese. Neither team was able to really generate much of an offensive threat after that hydration break. The vibe in the stadium calmed after a collision between Australia’s Paul Okon-Engstler and the USA’s Freeman that resulted in both players tumbling to the grass holding their heads. The rowdy crowd went quiet following the collision as both players received medical attention. The drums in the far corner kept playing but the vibe rightfully quieted. With Pulisic absent on the left, the US focused their attacks on the right side of the pitch with Sergiño Dest becoming the focal point of constant attacks with his mazy runs upfield. The Americans got the ball in the back of the net in the 44th minute after Dest fired a shot from the edge of the box off a corner. The ball was deflected high in the air and Freeman was first to the ball, heading it into the net. He was ruled offside by the linesman, but the video assistant referee called for a review. The referee said after the review and Freeman was ruled onside, making it 2-0 to the USA. The last act of a physical first half resulted in Freeman knocking Jordan Bos off the ball in the American’s box, sending the Australian down into the ground. The US goalscorer stood over Bos for a moment with the halftime whistle blaring. The staredown initiated a little argy-bargy between the pair as both teams exited the field. There is only one way out toward the locker room, and both squads eventually found cooler heads while walking off together. The game hit a bit of a lull in the early second half as neither team created much of an offensive threat. Balogun had a great chance after getting in behind the Aussie defense, but his shot was blocked by an Aussie defender at the last moment. The Americans endured a scary moment in the 62nd minute when the Australians broke down the right side through Nestory Irankunda who passed back to Cristian Volpato eventually, eventually firing a shot over the bar. There was an appeal for a penalty after Tyler Adams and an Aussie attacker came together in the box, but those shouts were waved away by the referee. The Aussies amped up their pressure, having another shot in the 65th minute but Freese made an easy save off the shot by Connor Metcalfe. A few minutes later, the Aussie bench was again up in arms as Irankunda was muscled off the ball by US defender Chris Richards and no foul was called. Going into the final 15 minutes of the game, it was the Aussies who looked the most threatening as the USA seemed to get some heavy legs in the midday sun in Seattle. Pochettino made two substitutes with 10 minutes to go in the match to send on some fresh legs as the USA tried to kill off the game. The Australians kept up the pressure and there were some moments of desperate defending on behalf of the Americans, who had not shut an opponent out since doing so to Japan in an exhibition match in September. The final minutes of the game were marked by several yellow cards handed out by referee Felix Zwayer, who was faced with several big decisions in the second half. The match got increasingly chippy as it wound down, with bodies hitting the floor and big arguments breaking up the flow of play. It was a similar story to what happened the last time these two teams played each other last fall, a US victory. The final minutes of the game dragged on when Zwayer cramped up and needed a moment to recover. When the final whistle blew, the Seattle crowd gave one last mighty roar as the Americans triumphantly applauded their fans, who had been in great voice the full 90 minutes. Pochettino called it a “fantastic game” from his squad and likened the American fan support at Lumen Field to that of Argentina. “Argentina have amazing fans but I think we are matching Argentina,” Pochettino told the Fox broadcast after the match with screaming fans surrounding him. “It’s amazing, our fans, I am so happy for them.” Pochettino added that it was “difficult” to not have Pulisic available for the match as he is considered an “important” player for the USA. “It was impossible today, for him to play. We hope next game he will be available but we want to win the competition, we need the whole team… Christian (Pulisic) is one of the best players in the world. And hope he can recover as soon as possible and can show it on the pitch and help the team.”","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/usa-wins-world-cup-group-by-defeating-australia-coupled-with-paraguays-win-over-turkey/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Litzy Grijalba","publishDate":"2026-06-20T22:59:35.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F062026-USA-wins-World-Cup-group-by-defeating-Australia-coupled-with-Paraguays-win-over-Turkey.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"usa-wins-world-cup-group-by-defeating-australia-coupled-with-paraguays-win-over-turkey"},{"id":"oaqywv","archiveId":"1j7qjb","title":"Man charged with beating, kidnapping woman was caught on camera, Miami Springs Police say","excerpt":"The Miami Springs Police Department has charged a man after they say he beat a woman and prevented her from getting away to safety.The department said on Friday that the woman's phone inadvertently triggered an emergency alert, starting a phone call on an open line with dispatchers.

They’ve been showing up and showing out for the Scotland national football team, who will be playing in Miami Stadium on Wednesday. Now that the Tartan Army has begun its invasion of South Florida, the party begins with bagpipes and kilts. “No Scotland, no party,” said a Scottish soccer fan. “Scots don’t take too kindly to the sun a lot of them, but I’m sure everyone’s going to enjoy it,” said a Scottish soccer fan. 7News spoke to some of the Tartan Army who are hoping for a draw against Brazil so Scotland can keep their chances high of advancing to the round of 32 for the first time. “You got to be confident because without any hope, what’s the point in going?” said Cameron Smyth, part of the Tartan Army. Brazil is coming off a 3-0 shutout win over Haiti on Friday night. “We’re better than Brazil,” said a Scottish soccer fan. In Boston, the Tartan Army took over the city during Scotland’s World Cup matches against Haiti and Morocco, and even drank all the beer at different bars. “Boston was insane. I can’t wait for Miami,” said Sean Downie, part of the Tartan Army. “We drank Boston dry. I think Miami doesn’t know what’s about to hit it.” “We’re hoping Miami is going to be better,” said a Scottish soccer fan. Now that they’re in South Florida, they’re looking for three things: drinks, a good time, and a win. “Beer,” said a Scottish soccer fan. “We’re going to the game against Brazil, and then we’re going to Space Miami, come on,” said a Scottish soccer fan. “I think Scotland going to win 3-0. Let’s go Scotland.” “3-1 Scotland,” said a Scottish soccer fan. Leading up to the match, the Tartan Army is expected to meet up at Ball and Chain in Little Havana on Monday, then will make their way to loanDepot Park, as many Scottish supporters will pack the stands at the Marlins game later that night.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/scotlands-tartan-army-takes-over-south-florida-ahead-of-world-cup-match-against-brazil/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Litzy Grijalba","publishDate":"2026-06-20T22:00:42.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F062026-Scotlands-Tartan-Army-takes-over-South-Florida-ahead-of-World-Cup-match-against-Brazil.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"scotlands-tartan-army-takes-over-south-florida-ahead-of-world-cup-match-against-brazil"},{"id":"ay600s","archiveId":"qn3ixs","title":"Mother of Cape Verde goalkeeper will be able to watch her son play in the World Cup","excerpt":"(CNN) — The mother of Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha will be able to watch her son play in the World Cup this weekend after intervention from the US State Department and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Jeffries said in a statement Wednesday that Vozinha’s mother will secure a visa in time for Cape Verde’s match against Uruguay on Sunday in Miami. “All fees have been waived consistent with official policy,” Jeffries said. “Travel arrangements are now being made for mother and son to reunite in Miami.” A State Department official told CNN on Thursday that things are “full steam ahead for travel for the game.” “Consistent with all policies, procedures, and standards, full steam ahead for travel for the game,” the official said. Vozinha said after Cape Verde’s shocking draw with Spain on Monday that his mother was not able to attend the match because she could not afford the bond payment for a visa. “She didn’t manage to be here because of the visa … the money we have to pay for the visa,” he told reporters after the match. “We didn’t manage on time, and I would like her to be here.” Cape Verde is one of 50 countries whose citizens are required by the Trump administration to pay a bond of up to $15,000, because of allegations of high rates of overstaying their visas. When asked about Vozinha’s comments, the official said there was no record of a visa request for the player’s mother. The official also noted that the bond is waived for “all relatives of players.” “The US Department of State has no record of this individual applying for a visa. All relatives of players are eligible for visa bond waivers, and the Department is actively reaching out to this player’s family to assist with visa services,” the official said. A source familiar with the matter said their understanding is that Vozinha’s mother does not currently have an active passport and is in the process of obtaining one. The State Department notes on its website that “the bond requirement will be waived for athletes and team members – including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role, and immediate relatives – who are nationals of countries that are competing in the FIFA World Cup 2026 and demonstrate that they meet all requirements for the visa.” It’s a whirlwind rise for Vozinha, a 40-year-old who plays in the Portuguese second division. He made seven saves against Spain, stifling the tournament favorites in his country’s first World Cup match. Many expected Vozinha and Cape Verde to be blown away by the European champions, in the vein of Germany beating tournament debutants Curaçao 7-1 on Sunday. Instead, Vozinha and his defenders frustrated the talented Spanish attack for 90 minutes and held on for the most important result in their country’s soccer history. The nation of around 530,000 people celebrated and much of the world danced along with them, leading to a quick rise in fame for the previously unheralded keeper. With some encouragement from a Brazilian broadcaster, Vozinha’s Instagram has grown from around 50,000 followers to more than 9.7 million as of Tuesday afternoon. Cape Verde next takes the field at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday against Uruguay in Miami.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/mother-of-cape-verde-goalkeeper-will-be-able-to-watch-her-son-play-in-the-world-cup-2/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Litzy Grijalba","publishDate":"2026-06-20T21:40:34.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F062026-Mother-of-Cape-Verde-goalkeeper-will-be-able-to-watch-her-son-play-in-the-World-Cup.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"mother-of-cape-verde-goalkeeper-will-be-able-to-watch-her-son-play-in-the-world-cup"},{"id":"ifjicy","archiveId":"ifze7b","title":"Trump threatens to charge US tolls in Strait of Hormuz if final Iran deal not reached in 60 days","excerpt":"TYRE, Lebanon (AP) — Iran on Saturday said that it closed the Strait of Hormuz because of Israel’s attacks in Lebanon and warned that while negotiators were going to Switzerland for talks with the United States on their interim agreement, not much likely will happen if the fighting doesn’t stop.

U.S. President Donald Trump, in response, threatened to impose U.S. tolls in the crucial waterway if a final deal with Iran isn’t reached in 60 days, saying the money would be for “services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East.” His social media post underscored that the agreement calls for toll-free travel for 60 days. The announcements indicated a rough start to technical-level U.S.-Iran talks that key mediator Pakistan said will begin Sunday, with Qatari mediators also participating. Iran’s joint military command said the strait was closed because of the U.S. “clear breach of its commitments” by failing to end the war. The interim deal is meant to stop fighting on all fronts. Shortly after that, Iran’s state broadcaster said that the negotiating team was leaving for Switzerland, a trip delayed from Friday. State media said that the team includes parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and central bank and oil officials, among others. The deal calls for Iran’s assets to be unfrozen. The U.S. disputed Iran’s announcement on the strait. “Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz. Traffic continues to flow, and U.S. forces are monitoring the situation to ensure this remains the case,” said Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for U.S. Central Command. The military said that 55 merchant ships transited Saturday with more than 17 million barrels of oil. Iran’s team departs for talks as uncertainty grows Negotiations toward a final agreement will begin once key commitments are upheld, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said. If they are not, “the memorandum of understanding as a whole will be jeopardized.” U.S. Vice President JD Vance confirmed that top negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were in Switzerland and working through technical details of anticipated negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program. The interim deal gives negotiators 60 days to reach a nuclear agreement, but that can be extended. Vance told Fox News that he expects to leave for Switzerland in “the next couple of days.” As part of efforts to revive direct talks, Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met with Araghchi in Tehran earlier Saturday, according to officials in Islamabad who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. The global economy braced for more uncertainty. Ships began transiting after the interim U.S.-Iran agreement was signed earlier in the week, a milestone that left plenty of questions unanswered. The U.S. lifted its blockade of Iran’s ports and now allows Tehran to sell its oil freely — terms that have left some in U.S. Congress asking whether the war was worth it. Israeli attacks in Lebanon kill at least 16 A Hezbollah official told The Associated Press that Iran informed the militant group that Tehran won’t reopen the strait until Israel announces publicly that it will comply with a “comprehensive ceasefire” in Lebanon and an end to military operations there. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. The official said that Hezbollah would commit to a ceasefire if Israel does. An Israeli military official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, later said that the military had received “updated directives from the political echelon to cease fire.” The official said that the military is operating in a defensive manner in Lebanon, which includes the right to respond to Hezbollah attacks. The official also said that five Israeli soldiers had been killed in the past 48 hours in southern Lebanon. Earlier Saturday, Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon killed at least 16 people, including two children, hours after reports emerged of a ceasefire agreement there. Seven people were trapped under rubble after strikes hit the southern city of Nabatiyeh and nearby villages, Lebanon’s National News Agency said. The death toll in the latest Israel-Hezbollah war has surpassed 4,000, Lebanon’s health ministry later announced. An Israeli military official said that Hezbollah fired more than 50 projectiles at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon overnight. Israel’s army said that it struck dozens of Hezbollah targets and militants. On Friday, the Israeli ambassador to Washington, Yechiel Leiter, said that Israel “remains firmly committed to an immediate ceasefire,” if Hezbollah honors the agreement and ceases hostilities. Earlier Saturday, Hezbollah said that it had committed to the ceasefire, but blamed Israel for violating it Friday night and said that it would repel attacks by Israeli troops. The conflict could sink the US-Iran deal Neither Israel nor Hezbollah are signatories to the deal between the U.S. and Iran. Hezbollah and Israel went to war two days after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, with Hezbollah firing rockets and drones at northern Israel and Israel seizing large swaths of southern Lebanon. A new round of U.S.-backed talks between the Lebanese government, and Israel is expected in Washington next week. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to keep Israeli forces in southern Lebanon until any threat to Israel is eliminated. Hezbollah has refused to halt its attacks unless Israel commits to withdrawing from Lebanon. Fighting continues near the Israel-Lebanon border A strike on Lebanon’s Barish village killed four members of a family: parents and two children. In Arab Salim village, a body was pulled from a destroyed house, and in Doueir and Kfar Rumman villages, drone strikes killed a person on a motorcycle and a Lebanese soldier. Nine people were killed in strikes in Qannarit, Sohmor and Shehour villages. Israeli jets flew low over the coastal city of Tyre. Residents told The Associated Press they were relieved that Tyre had been spared in recent days, but now they were reminded that the war isn’t over. “Our entire lives would change if there’s a ceasefire,” said one resident, Hussein Khoshman. Some residents of northern Israel doubted the fighting would stop. “I don’t believe in a ceasefire because it doesn’t exist,” said Miriam Hod in Metula.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/trump-threatens-to-charge-us-tolls-in-strait-of-hormuz-if-final-iran-deal-not-reached-in-60-days/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Litzy Grijalba","publishDate":"2026-06-20T21:13:18.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F062026-Trump-threatens-to-charge-US-tolls-in-Strait-of-Hormuz-if-final-Iran-deal-not-reached-in-60-days-1.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"trump-threatens-to-charge-us-tolls-in-strait-of-hormuz-if-final-iran-deal-not-reached-in-60-days"},{"id":"tblv9i","archiveId":"myfnm5","title":"CBS News Miami's Jim Barry throws the first pitch at Marlins game","excerpt":"Our very own Jim Barry threw the first pitch right before the Marlins hosted San Francisco.","content":"Our very own Jim Barry threw the first pitch right before the Marlins hosted San Francisco.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/cbs-news-miamis-jim-barry-throws-the-first-pitch-at-marlins-game/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-20T03:37:00.000Z","category":"sports","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F20%2F005dd96d-f2bc-4c16-bdfb-1d917aa096ff%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F926d44bf8cd981688ffdf1e30090df29%2F0917cd992d5837f183015b9d8c124ec5.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"cbs-news-miamis-jim-barry-throws-the-first-pitch-at-marlins-game"},{"id":"7kij6h","archiveId":"oz4l89","title":"Hazy sights in South Florida this evening with rain to come over the weekend","excerpt":"After the weekend, dry air is set to enter South Florida.","content":"After the weekend, dry air is set to enter South Florida.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/hazy-sights-in-south-florida-this-evening-with-rain-to-come-over-the-weekend/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-20T03:34:00.000Z","category":"weather","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F20%2F32566212-9b25-4b4d-90f5-49f53e7ecefb%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F02a4b168dc6ea28fb96b6d42876c2c49%2F7c4eb79cc1f430e36d9996c17a9ef674.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"hazy-sights-in-south-florida-this-evening-with-rain-to-come-over-the-weekend"},{"id":"aknftg","archiveId":"m5g3tg","title":"MDSO investigating a double homicide after bodies found in southwest Miami-Dade","excerpt":"A man and woman were found dead in southwest Miami-Dade, and one man was detained pending the investigation.","content":"A man and woman were found dead in southwest Miami-Dade, and one man was detained pending the investigation.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/mdso-investigating-a-double-homicide-after-bodies-found-in-southwest-miami-dade/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-20T03:31:00.000Z","category":"miami","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F20%2Fe63640b9-80b4-4e36-a66a-a68fd83cdb0a%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fdfb457d9d7ca729bbbd44fc14cb06fc4%2F39416d286f550252b79b260b9d3c8200.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"mdso-investigating-a-double-homicide-after-bodies-found-in-southwest-miami-dade"},{"id":"wxry0d","archiveId":"xigt91","title":"US-Iran talks to begin Sunday in Switzerland as Tehran closes the strait over Lebanon fighting","excerpt":"TYRE, Lebanon (AP) — Iran dealt two quick blows to the interim agreement with the United States on Saturday, angered by Israel’s continued attacks in Lebanon, saying it had closed the Strait of Hormuz and announcing that while its negotiators were going to Switzerland for talks, not much is likely t","content":"TYRE, Lebanon (AP) — Iran dealt two quick blows to the interim agreement with the United States on Saturday, angered by Israel’s continued attacks in Lebanon, saying it had closed the Strait of Hormuz and announcing that while its negotiators were going to Switzerland for talks, not much is likely to happen there. Key mediator Pakistan, meanwhile, said the technical-level talks will begin on Sunday in Bürgenstock, Switzerland, with Qatari mediators also participating. In Tehran’s first salvo, Iran’s joint military command said the strait had been closed, citing the Israeli attacks and U.S. “bad faith” and “clear breach of its commitments” by failing to end the war. Its statement on state television warned that “if the aggression continues, subsequent steps have been planned.” Shortly after that, the state broadcaster announced that Iran’s negotiating team was going to Switzerland, a trip that had been originally planned for Friday. State media said the team includes parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and central bank and oil officials, among others. There was no immediate U.S. comment. Iran’s team departs for talks as uncertainty grows Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Bagahei, however, signaled that little might happen until Iran feels the U.S. is living up to the deal. “This trip is therefore about demanding that the other side fulfill its obligations,” he said, adding that negotiations toward a final agreement will begin only once key commitments are upheld. If they are not, he said, “then the memorandum of understanding as a whole will be jeopardized.” In Washington, Vice President JD Vance confirmed that the top U.S. negotiators — Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff — were already in Switzerland and have been working through technical details of the anticipated negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program. Vance told Fox News that he expects to leave for Switzerland “sometime the next couple of days” but acknowledged that “it’s always a delicate coordination dance.” As part of efforts to revive the direct talks, Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met Araghchi in Tehran earlier Saturday, according to officials in Islamabad who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. Meanwhile, the global economy braced for more uncertainty. Shortly after Iran’s announcement, which it did not address, the U.S. military said commercial ship traffic continued through the strait on Saturday, with 55 merchant ships transiting, “moving large amounts of cargo and more than 17 million barrels of oil to global markets.” It was not clear when in the day they had transited. Ships began transiting after the interim U.S.-Iran agreement was signed earlier in the week, a milestone that has left plenty of questions unanswered. Israeli attacks in Lebanon kill at least 16 In Lebanon, an official with Hezbollah told The Associated Press that Iran has informed the militant group that Tehran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until Israel announces publicly that it will comply with a “comprehensive ceasefire” in Lebanon and an end to military operations there. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. There was no immediate Israeli comment. Earlier Saturday, Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon killed at least 16 people, including two children, hours after reports emerged of a ceasefire agreement there. Seven people remained trapped under the rubble after the strikes hit the southern city of Nabatiyeh and nearby villages, Lebanon’s National News Agency said. The death toll in the latest war between Israel and Hezbollah has now surpassed 4,000, Lebanon’s health ministry later announced. Mediators were scrambling to halt the fighting after a heavy exchange on Friday killed at least 47 people in Lebanon and four Israeli soldiers. An Israeli military official, speaking anonymously in line with regulations, said Hezbollah had fired more than 50 projectiles at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon overnight. Israel’s army said it struck dozens of Hezbollah targets and militants in southern Lebanon, including Hezbollah command centers. On Friday, the Israeli ambassador to Washington, Yechiel Leiter, said Israel “remains firmly committed to an immediate ceasefire” if Hezbollah honors the agreement and ceases hostilities. On Saturday, Hezbollah said it had committed to the ceasefire but blamed Israel for violating it several times Friday night. A statement by the group’s military wing said it would abide by the ceasefire but would also repel attacks by Israeli troops. The conflict could sink the US-Iran deal A new round of U.S.-backed talks between the Lebanese government and Israel is expected to take place in Washington next week. Hezbollah and Israel went to war two days after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, with Hezbollah firing rockets and drones at northern Israel and Israel seizing large swaths of southern Lebanon. Neither Israel nor Hezbollah are signatories to the deal, which calls for a halt to military operations in Lebanon and for the country’s sovereignty to be respected. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to keep Israeli forces in southern Lebanon until any threat to Israel is eliminated. Hezbollah has refused to halt its attacks unless Israel commits to withdrawing from Lebanon, which Iran says is also a condition of the deal.

Netanyahu’s office did not immediately comment on ceasefire efforts. Military spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said Israeli forces were operating in a “forward defense zone” and would continue doing so.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/us-iran-talks-to-begin-sunday-in-switzerland-but-tehran-closes-the-strait-over-lebanon-fighting/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Jayme Berezdivin","publishDate":"2026-06-20T13:34:07.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F05%2F053026-Iran-flag.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"us-iran-talks-to-begin-sunday-in-switzerland-as-tehran-closes-the-strait-over-lebanon-fighting"},{"id":"vgidwb","archiveId":"pfpupi","title":"Miami-Dade fires continue burning as crews try to use backfires to stop the spread","excerpt":"This as many residents across South Florida have been smelling the smoke heavier Friday evening.","content":"This as many residents across South Florida have been smelling the smoke heavier Friday evening.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/miami-dade-fires-continue-burning-as-crews-try-to-use-backfires-to-stop-the-spread/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-20T03:24:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F20%2F47ed429d-18b8-4c70-ae00-62bf8e28c4e5%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fc8d9f0d4e11b62ee6cb65511852ae382%2F2a56d207e68f1af29a1c9367fcbd91cc.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"miami-dade-fires-continue-burning-as-crews-try-to-use-backfires-to-stop-the-spread"},{"id":"rowrm1","archiveId":"1huxlj","title":"Overtown guided tour travels across landmarks with Miami-Dade mayor for Juneteenth","excerpt":"Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava joined a guided tour through Miami’s Overtown neighborhood for Juneteenth.

High temperatures will soar into the mid-90s across the area. To make matters worse, it’s extremely humid which sets the stage for dangerous heat all weekend long. Heat advisories are in effect with the heat index climbing up to 110 both Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Make sure to take frequent breaks from the heat and drink lots of water. The good news is we have a decent chance of storms both days to help cool us off. The higher chance of storms comes today with an upper disturbance over Florida helping to increase our storm chances. There will be a bit more drier air tomorrow but still plenty of moisture for scattered storms on Fathers Day. Otherwise, light winds will make for good beach and boating weather. Looking ahead, the Summer doldrums are in full effect in South Florida next week. Expect daily shower and storm chances with highs in the 90s. Saharan Dust could become an issue by late week.

Walking alongside local student-athletes, the rookies spent the afternoon learning about the neighborhood's rich history, its cultural impact, and the generations of Black leaders who shaped it.For Miami historian Dr. Marvin Dunn, who guided the tour, teaching the incoming players about the area's heritage is a vital part of welcoming them to South Florida.\"The number one thing I want them to take away from this experience is that they're home now,\" Dunn said. \"They're home now, for however long that's gonna be. This is their community. I want them to feel welcome, comfortable, and knowledgeable about this community.\"Dunn, 86, has spent decades documenting local history. He noted that the Dolphins represent one of the most recognizable brands in the region, making it even more important for the players to be in tune with their surroundings.\"I know the stories,\" Dunn said. \"I think I can give an authentic account of our history. I think the people are interested in it, and that's why I'm doing it.\"During the tour, the players visited several buildings that have stood for more than a century, offering them a tangible connection to the past.\"We walked into a few different historical buildings that have been up for 100-plus years. That's just crazy,\" said rookie Chris Johnson. \"Just to be able to see the paintings on the wall from certain people and just understanding the history.\"For some players, the trip provided a brand-new perspective on the American South.\"I'm actually from Texas, so I wasn't too familiar with the culture and the history down here,\" rookie Trey Moore said. \"But it's very cool to find out, to learn. Being from the South, obviously, it was a lot of the same situations and circumstances in Texas. It's just very cool to see where we came from, overcoming those things and where we made it to today.\"Dolphins executives noted that community educational events are a core part of the franchise's identity, especially surrounding milestones like Juneteenth.\"This is such a fun time of year for us,\" said Kim Miller, an executive with the Dolphins organization. \"We get to invite the rookies out to learn about their new city — to learn about Miami and the history here in Overtown in particular. Ahead of Juneteenth, they're really learning about the Black history in the area and how Black history shapes this city as a whole.\"As Overtown continues to evolve, Dunn hopes that high-profile visits like this will remind the broader public of the neighborhood's enduring value.\"Overtown is still here. We still have beautiful Overtown,\" Dunn said. \"We're still doing good things in Overtown — not just all drugs and crime. It's a historic community that deserves preservation, and I hope people see the opportunity to come.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/miami-dolphins-players-tour-historic-overtown-on-juneteenth-to-understand-the-communitys-deep-roots/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Jaelen  Gilkey","publishDate":"2026-06-20T03:12:40.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F20%2F259b9d0a-4428-49b4-a5d1-74a341d3c3fd%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F25cc430fdb116cee83ac472068be00ca%2Fscreenshot-2026-06-19-at-11-12-08-pm.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"miami-dolphins-players-tour-historic-overtown-on-juneteenth-to-understand-the-communitys-deep-roots"},{"id":"kkfmfx","archiveId":"70y07p","title":"Crowds gathered at FIFA Fan Fest in Miami to watch Team USA's second World Cup match against Australia","excerpt":"Despite the heat on Friday afternoon, a large crowd gathered at Bayfront Park to watch Team USA face off in its second match of the FIFA World Cup.

Before the match even began, a group of fans lined up for line dancing, setting a patriotic tone for the afternoon at downtown Miami's FIFA Fan Fest. While the crowd was overwhelmingly chanting for the red, white, and blue, a few international fans could be found in the mix.Among them were Rob and Sam, a couple who recently moved to Miami and currently find themselves living in a house divided.\"To watch the U.S. win, of course,\" Rob said when asked why they came out. \"And to teach him about football — the world game,\" Sam countered.For the couple, Fan Fest provided the perfect competitive backdrop.Team USA is not considered one of the favorites to win the World Cup this year, but the crowd in Miami showed no shortage of optimism. When an accidental own goal by Australia gave the U.S. its first point of the match, the park erupted in celebration.From that point on, fans followed every kick with intense excitement, though many chose to watch the remainder of the game from the safety of the shade.Despite the tough start for her home team, Sam noted that Australia's early stumble shouldn't overshadow the massive growth of soccer in the United States.\"I think it's only going to make Major League Soccer even stronger,\" she said. \"I'm so excited.\"The World Cup action will continue in South Florida this Sunday with a match at Miami Stadium.

Javier Sanoja had two hits and scored twice for the Marlins, who are a major league-best 12-4 in June. Giants reliever Sam Hentges (1-2) hit Esteury Ruiz with a pitch leading off the seventh inning. Sanoja singled and Liam Hicks followed with a tying single that advanced Sanoja to third. He scored on Caissie’s flyball to deep left field. Cade Gibson (1-0) retired all four batters he faced for the win. Calvin Faucher relieved Gibson and got the last two outs in the eighth before Pete Fairbanks closed with a perfect ninth for his 10th save this season and the 100th of his career. The Marlins used eight pitchers in a bullpen game. Rafael Devers’ homer for the Giants against Michael Petersen leading off the sixth tied it 2-all. Jung Hoo Lee followed with a double and scored on Casey Schmitt’s go-ahead single. Caissie’s run-scoring double in the fifth put Miami ahead 2-1. San Francisco starter Landen Roupp allowed two runs and seven hits over six innings and 98 pitches. Roupp, who struck out seven, is winless in eight outings since April 26, when he completed 7 2/3 innings in a 6-3 home victory against the Marlins. Caissie gave Miami an early lead with his solo homer in the first. He drove a cutter from Roupp over the wall in center for his eighth homer.

Fans of all ages gathered at The NoMi Village off Northwest Seventh Avenue in North Miami at a free community watch party to support their team. The tournament marks a historic moment for Haiti. It is the first time since 1974 that the national soccer team has qualified for the World Cup. 7News cameras captured a large TV screen, food vendors and family-friendly activities ahead of kickoff. “A lot of Haitians are big fans of Brazil and tonight, it’s really hard for us to choose between both but I’m going to choose Brazil,” said a fan. People were glued to the big screen in hopes of their team taking home a victory, after losing the first game to Scotland. “In our spirit, we beat Scotland because they have a lot of fight in the game and now we are going to show and improve and do better,” said another fan as the game commenced. But Friday’s game ended much the same way, with Brazil defeating Haiti and handing the team its second loss of the tournament and making them the first team eliminated from the World Cup. Despite the result, fans remained proud and optimistic. For many fans at NoMi Village, watching their home country compete among the world’s top teams is a source of celebration and national pride. “I’m so proud because we’re making a comeback. I feel like after so many things that Haiti has been through, I feel like this is our year to show the world how prideful we are,” said another fan. Though the loss was disappointing for those in North Miami, supporters said they will continue cheering for the team and celebrating its long-awaited return to the World Cup. “I wanted to be a part of history. I was supposed to be at church today but I’m like, ‘Look, I gotta come here to watch Haiti,’ because honestly, if it wasn’t for this right here, I wouldn’t even be here. My parents ae from Haiti so I’m here to support them no matter what,” said a fan. Even though they are eliminated, Haiti will still play on Wednesday against Morocco.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/south-floridas-haitian-community-rally-behind-team-haiti-despite-3-0-loss-to-brazil/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Kevin Boulandier","publishDate":"2026-06-19T23:13:14.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061926-Haitans-watch-match-against-Brazil.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"south-floridas-haitian-community-rally-behind-team-haiti-despite-3-0-loss-to-brazil"},{"id":"ch3ava","archiveId":"3zjc3z","title":"Iran closes Strait of Hormuz again and says its negotiating team with US is heading to Switzerland","excerpt":"DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran dealt two quick blows to the interim agreement with the United States on Saturday, angered by Israel’s continued attacks in Lebanon, saying it had closed the Strait of Hormuz again and announcing that while its negotiators are going to Switzerland for talks, n","content":"DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran dealt two quick blows to the interim agreement with the United States on Saturday, angered by Israel’s continued attacks in Lebanon, saying it had closed the Strait of Hormuz again and announcing that while its negotiators are going to Switzerland for talks, not much is likely to happen there. First, Iran’s joint military command said the strait had been closed, citing Israeli attacks and U.S. “bad faith” and “its clear breach of its commitments” by failing to end the war. The statement on state television warned that “if the aggression continues, subsequent steps have been planned.” Minutes later, the state broadcaster said the country’s negotiating team was heading to Switzerland, a trip that was originally planned for Friday but was canceled. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Bagahei, Bagahei, however, signaled that little might happen until Iran feels the U.S. is living up to the deal. “This trip is therefore about demanding that the other side fulfill its obligations,” he said, adding that negotiations toward a final agreement will begin only once key commitments, including an end to fighting in Lebanon, are upheld. “If any part of these understandings, any part of these commitments, is not implemented, then the memorandum of understanding as a whole will be jeopardized,” Bagahei said. Ships had begun transiting the strait after the interim U.S.-Iran agreement was signed earlier in the week. Israeli attacks in Lebanon kill at least 16 Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday killed at least 16 people, including two children, hours after reports emerged of a ceasefire agreement. The persistent fighting threatened an interim agreement between the United States and Iran to end the war in the Middle East. Seven people remained trapped under the rubble after the strikes hit the southern town of Nabatiyeh and nearby villages, Lebanon’s National News Agency said. Mediators were scrambling to halt the fighting between Israel and the militant Lebanese Hezbollah group, after a heavy exchange on Friday killed at least 47 people in Lebanon and four Israeli soldiers. An Israeli military official said Hezbollah had fired more than 50 projectiles at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon overnight, prompting the military to start targeting the militant group there. The official spoke anonymously in line with regulations. The army said it struck dozens of Hezbollah targets and militants in southern Lebanon, including rocket-launching positions and Hezbollah command centers. On Friday, Israeli ambassador to Washington, Yechiel Leiter, said on X that Israel “remains firmly committed to an immediate ceasefire” if Hezbollah honors the agreement and ceases hostilities. On Saturday, Hezbollah said it had committed to the ceasefire but blamed Israel for violating it several times on Friday night. A statement issued by the group’s military wing said it would abide by the ceasefire but would also repel attacks by Israeli troops. A conflict that could sink the US-Iran deal Hezbollah and Israel went to war just days after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, with Hezbollah firing rockets and drones at northern Israel and Israel seizing large swaths of southern Lebanon. The interim U.S.-Iran agreement signed this week has already reopened the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran had closed as the war unfolded — cutting off the global economy from significant supplies of oil and natural gas. The deal also envisages the relaunch of talks on Iran’s nuclear program, a core issue in the war. Neither Israel nor Hezbollah are signatories to the deal, which calls for a halt to military operations in Lebanon and for the country’s sovereignty to be respected. With the fighting continuing, the accord is under threat and U.S.-Iran talks in Switzerland, planned to start Friday, have been delayed, with no new date announced. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to keep Israeli forces in southern Lebanon until any threat to Israel is eliminated. Hezbollah has refused to halt its attacks unless Israel commits to withdrawing from Lebanon, which Iran says is also a condition of the deal. A new round of U.S.-backed talks between the Lebanese government and Israel is expected to take place in Washington next week. The fighting in the south, near the Israel-Lebanon border A strike on the village of Barish killed four members of a family, parents and two children. In Arab Salim village, a body was pulled from a destroyed house, and in the villages of Doueir and Kfar Rumman, drone strikes killed a person on a motorcycle and a Lebanese soldier. Nine people were killed in strikes in the villages of Qannarit, Sohmor and Shehour. Plumes of smoke rose into the sky over southern Lebanon and Israeli jets flew low over the coastal city of Tyre on Saturday. Residents there told The Associated Press they were relieved that Tyre had been spared in recent days but the sounds of Israeli planes reminded them the war is not over. Many doubted a ceasefire — even if agreed on — would hold. “Our entire lives would change if there’s a ceasefire,” said Hussein Khoshman, a Tyre resident. Netanyahu’s office did not immediately comment on the ceasefire efforts. On Friday, Netanyahu posted on X that, on his orders, the Israeli army had “struck powerfully” 150 Hezbollah targets, killing dozens of militants. Military spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said the Israeli forces were operating in a “forward defense zone” and would continue doing so. Iranian and US officials cancel travel to Switzerland After Iran said its officials did not travel as planned to Switzerland, insisting that the fighting in Lebanon must stop before the talks can take place, U.S. Vice President JD Vance also postponed his trip. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told the semi-official ISNA news agency on Saturday that Pakistan’s interior minister will arrive in Iran as part of continued negotiation efforts. Baghaei had said earlier that consultations through mediators were ongoing regarding the next phase of negotiations to draft a final U.S.-Iran agreement. Because the initial deal was signed digitally earlier this week, the talks in Switzerland were not urgent, and plans were underway to hold a meeting in the coming days, he said. The Swiss foreign ministry said diplomats were in talks on Saturday in the town of Bürgenstock on how to implement the U.S.-Iran deal, without offering details.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/iran-closes-strait-of-hormuz-again-and-says-its-negotiating-team-with-us-is-heading-to-switzerland/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Jayme Berezdivin","publishDate":"2026-06-20T13:34:07.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F05%2F053026-Iran-flag.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"iran-closes-strait-of-hormuz-again-and-says-its-negotiating-team-with-us-is-heading-to-switzerland"},{"id":"o41pzp","archiveId":"5go7wp","title":"James Burrows, co-creator of \"Cheers\" and prolific director, dies at 85","excerpt":"James Burrows, the co-creator of \"Cheers\" and prolific television director who worked on hits including \"Will & Grace,\" \"Frasier\" and \"The Mary Tyler Moore Show,\" has died.

He was 85 years old. His family confirmed in a statement Friday that Burrows \"passed away peacefully today surrounded by his loving family.\" A cause of death was not immediately available.\"For more than five decades, Burrows was one of the most influential and beloved directors in television history. As a legendary director, mentor, and creative force, he helped shape generations of comedy and brought immeasurable joy to audiences around the world,\" the Burrows family said.James Burrows poses for a portrait on the set of \"Partners\" at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, on Sept. 19, 2012. Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP Burrows was born in California and raised in New York, where he began working in the city's theater scene. His first job on television was directing episodes of \"The Mary Tyler Moore Show.\" Burrows would go on to direct more than 1,000 episodes of TV, including every episode of the original \"Will & Grace,\" and is credited with having helped create shows including \"Friends,\" \"Taxi\" and \"Frasier.\" Other shows he directed included \"The Big Bang Theory\" and \"Two and a Half Men,\" both of which aired on CBS. He also directed episodes of the recent Paramount+ revival of \"Frasier.\" Burrows was an 11-time Emmy Award winner. He received dozens of Emmy nominations, including a streak from 1980 to 1996, during which he was nominated every year. His most recent Emmy win was in 2020, when he was awarded the Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Special (Live). Burrows was also nominated for 15 Directors Guild of America Awards during his career, winning five. In addition to his work behind the camera, Burrows occasionally made cameos in the episodes he directed, including appearing in the first season of \"Friends\" and in the \"Will & Grace\" revival. He also appeared in the HBO comedy \"The Comeback,\" including in the show's recently aired third season.\"But beyond his remarkable achievements, Burrows will be remembered for something even greater: his kindness, generosity, and unwavering belief in the people around him,\" his family said in its statement. \"He possessed a rare ability to make everyone better and was known for remembering every person he met by name, making colleagues at every level feel seen, valued, and appreciated.\"Burrows told CBS Los Angeles in 2022 that the most important thing in his career had been to \"deliver funny\" to audiences. \"The first thing you have to be is funny,\" Burrows said at the time.His family said, \"Burrows understood that great comedy was never simply about laughter. It was about humanity, connection, and truth. That understanding became the foundation of a career that forever changed television.\"\"His influence will continue to be felt for generations through the countless artists he inspired, the stories he helped tell, and the millions of people whose lives were brightened by his work.\"Burrows is survived by his wife, stylist Debbie Easton, his four daughters and seven grandchildren. He \"will be profoundly missed and forever remembered,\" the Burrows family said.Burrows told CBS News Los Angeles that a conversation with Easton inspired his 2022 memoir. \"I kind of cut back on the work I'm doing, shows and stuff like that, and literally my wife came to me and says 'It's time for you to write a book,'\" Burrows said. \"And I said 'I don't have an angle or hook on the book.'

The measures would open sectors such as banking, energy, and real estate development to private capital and foreign companies.During an emergency session of Cuba's National Assembly of People's Power on Thursday, Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz outlined the reforms, which would also permit the sale of state-owned properties to domestic and foreign entities, including Cubans living abroad.Salazar argued that the reforms do not address the fundamental political issues facing the island.\"The only thing that the Castros need to understand is that their time is up,\" she said. \"It would be best for their families and for the Cuban people for them to negotiate with the United States, with the White House, their exit.\"The reforms would also allow for the arrival of international fast-food franchises and other private business ventures, but some experts question whether the changes will be enough to attract meaningful investment.\"You don't know if this is actually going to be a long-term opening or a long-term reform,\" said Daniel Pedreira, a professor who studies Cuban politics at Florida International University.Pedreira noted that potential investors still face significant uncertainty because Cuba lacks a well-established legal framework to protect private investments.\"There's a lot of uncertainty still. It's all on paper. It's all words now,\" he said.Pedreira added that the announcement may be driven in part by growing pressure from Washington.\"I think this is a desperate last-minute attempt to face U.S. pressure from the Trump administration,\" he said.South Florida Cuban-American leaders also questioned whether the reforms would have a meaningful impact on the island's struggling economy.\"These are too little, too late,\" said Ramon Saul Sanchez. \"There is no legal framework in Cuba, and the infrastructure is so damaged that the incentive for outsiders to invest in Cuba is not there.\"The Trump administration has already begun responding to the announcement. Vice President JD Vance signaled that future relations between Washington and Havana could depend on how Cuban leaders implement the reforms.\"If they make smart decisions, we're going to have a better relationship with the island,\" Vance said.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/south-florida-legislator-maria-elvira-salazar-skeptical-of-cubas-economic-reforms/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Ivan  Taylor","publishDate":"2026-06-20T00:12:08.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F20%2F9076ca10-56a3-4a50-85f1-fc8f8e0f2ea8%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F4c332e1da46979b0027bc4518868b073%2Fsnapshot-27.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"south-florida-legislator-skeptical-of-cubas-economic-reforms-as-havana-opens-door-to-private-investm"},{"id":"155wda","archiveId":"ak94pj","title":"Hot temperatures to continue in South Florida with dry air coming","excerpt":"As fires continue, rain relief may not be coming very soon.","content":"As fires continue, rain relief may not be coming very soon.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/hot-temperatures-to-continue-in-south-florida-with-dry-air-coming/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-20T00:05:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F20%2Fdbf64e36-974f-4d93-ba3c-26343e05cb03%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Ff4eaf874457cf89a284452b1344a0ab8%2Fc652a28239540f333e40321767013490.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"hot-temperatures-to-continue-in-south-florida-with-dry-air-coming"},{"id":"qhtpsx","archiveId":"395mug","title":"Dolphins players tour historic Overtown neighborhood on Juneteenth","excerpt":"This Juneteenth, the team visited a historic part of Miami and learned all about it","content":"This Juneteenth, the team visited a historic part of Miami and learned all about it","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/dolphins-players-tour-historic-overtown-neighborhood-on-juneteenth/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-20T00:01:00.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F20%2F053e5750-49f2-46ff-a752-772174d38536%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F65dc9c0cfd1c36635c1b1374adb40e42%2F8301dd9e3d3951303c744f14a2eaf0e3.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dolphins-players-tour-historic-overtown-neighborhood-on-juneteenth"},{"id":"djqxhs","archiveId":"t4kzdg","title":"As Black Press nears 200 years, South Florida's black owned media reflect on legacy this Juneteenth","excerpt":"As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, another historic milestone is approaching.In March 2027, the Black Press will mark 200 years since the publication of Freedom's Journal, the nation's first Black-owned newspaper.

The bicentennial comes as communities across the country commemorate Juneteenth, a holiday rooted in freedom.In South Florida, Black-owned media leaders say their mission, significance and impact remain important. The Miami Times is South Florida's oldest Black newspaper and has been serving the community since 1923. It is one of several Black-owned media outlets across Miami-Dade and Broward counties.\"We are a lifeline for our community,\" said Bobby Henry, publisher of the Westside Gazette. \"It's not just this newspaper. It's what this represents and this represents us.\"Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day enslaved people in Texas learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Long before Juneteenth became a federal holiday, Black-owned newspapers were documenting Black history, celebrating achievements and highlighting issues.\"For 200 years we've been pleading our own cause,\" Henry said. \"We've been telling our message and it's very important that people understand and recognize that.\"Robert Beatty, publisher of the South Florida Times, said Black-owned media outlets serve as community storytellers, historians and advocates.\"Our recognition of our history is the beginning of defining our future,\" Beatty said.He believes understanding the past is essential to continued progress.\"In order for us to have a fulfilling, uplifting future that is focused on our progress, we must always understand the path that we've taken to get to this point,\" Beatty said.While many Black-owned newspapers continue to publish in print and online, newer platforms are finding innovative ways to reach audiences where they are.Janey Tate is the founder of HyLo News. She launched the digital news platform to connect with younger audiences who were not engaging with traditional media. HyLo, short for \"hyperlocal,\" focuses on community-centered reporting and is distributed through social media and digital channels.\"Everybody's welcome to the party,\" Tate said. \"You just can't tell us what's on the menu. It's a safe space for us to be able to dissect what's going on in our community.\"Through digital storytelling, Tate sees her work as part of a tradition that began long before smartphones, websites and social media existed.\"We still need authentic places to tell our stories,\" she said. \"We've seen a lot of gains in this country, but we still have a lot to go.\"Despite changes in technology and how audiences consume news, the publishers agree the mission remains unchanged in ensuring Black communities are seen, heard and understood.\"We are because of our community,\" Henry said.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/black-press-200-years-black-owned-media-juneteenth-2026/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Tania  Francois","publishDate":"2026-06-19T23:59:49.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F19%2Fc3b2f71d-3214-4ea1-a0eb-79531a0c2928%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F08f4a373b0a1bab4bab50aa39a7fb912%2Fblack-press-juneteenth.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"as-black-press-nears-200-years-south-floridas-black-owned-media-reflect-on-legacy-this-juneteenth"},{"id":"n7vip2","archiveId":"dl6pu5","title":"CBS News Miami's Jim Berry prepares to throw first pitch","excerpt":"Berry will throw the first pitch as the Marlins host the San Fransisco Giants tonight.","content":"Berry will throw the first pitch as the Marlins host the San Fransisco Giants tonight.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/cbs-news-miamis-jim-berry-prepares-to-throw-first-pitch/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-19T23:41:00.000Z","category":"sports","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F19%2Fe65073cd-a20a-4ad3-90c9-699c62be8f95%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F38b39b4ce23749e55cb7f68c7edaff6e%2F1be7bca5a87f57e9288210762134da36.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"cbs-news-miamis-jim-berry-prepares-to-throw-first-pitch"},{"id":"mqnqlp","archiveId":"lpjjya","title":"Brazilian fans pack FIFA Fan Fest, Miami’s Boteco for highly anticipated matchup against Haiti","excerpt":"The soccer showdown between Brazil and Haiti had many fans across South Florida excited.

On one side, Brazil is a historic superpower. On the other hand, Haiti is making its second World Cup appearance. Brazil won their match on Friday night, putting them in an excellent position to punch their ticket to the round of 32. Before fans arrived at the gates to the inside of the Miami FIFA Fan Festival at Bayfront Park, Brazil fans were fired up for the group match. “We were planning this trip for some time. I live in the U.S. in Missouri, all of them live in Brazil, so we are fired up to be here and celebrate,” said Brazil fan Wagner Protossimo. “Go Brazil!” said another Brazil fan. Fans poured into the festival to watch the match, and although Haitian fans were outnumbered, they were not outdone. “We have to represent for our country. Of course not, of course not, the pride of Haiti is on the line. Everyone is going to show up whether they’re at home or here. We’re always gonna show up in spirit or physical,” said Haiti fan Nicole Vincent. “Definitely. But that’s normal, that’s to be expected. But you know, Haitians are resilient; we’re ready for the fight. Hopefully, we get the victory here today,” said Haiti fan Sebastian Petit. Brazil was the heavy favorite coming into the game as they brought in the first goal, which made Brazil fans rise to their feet. It was a night of fun and a long time coming for some fans. “Soccer or football for us is something, for us to be here with all our friends is amazing, Brazil! Brazil! Brazil!” said a soccer fan. In Miami’s Boteco, 7News cameras captured fans and employees enjoying Brazilian soccer and pride. “We’re good. I’m super excited. The vibes are super up,” said a soccer fan. “It’s Brazilians, it’s amazing to be with our people here to reunite for the World Cup. It’s an amazing experience,” said a soccer fan. Fans had Brazilian soccer shirts and were cheering to the camera as they had high hopes for their team. “The atmosphere is amazing, the people are amazing, the food is amazing,” said a soccer fan. “So excited. I’m not even Brazilian, but I feel the Brazilian energy. We’re all Brazilian,” said a soccer fan. There were so many people at the restaurant that its parking lot became an extended sitting area for fans. Staff members were prepared to become fully packed as every seat was reserved. “It’s always sold out, it’s always reserved because we’re just that good,” said a Boteco employee. “We don’t have anymore chairs,” said owner Michael Gerges. “We’re number one Brazilian bar in Florida.” Brazil’s next match is against Scotland on Wednesday evening.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office Homeland Security Bureau announced the arrest of Amir Ayesh in connection with what they say are two battery incidents that occurred within minutes of each other in the area of Northeast 10th Avenue and 171st Street. This happened on May 9th when the two victims reported being sprayed with an unknown liquid by an individual driving a black vehicle. Deputies responding obtained a vehicle description and identified Ayesh as the suspect. Through further investigation, detectives linked Ayesh to both incidents. They recovered surveillance video showing him using what appeared to be a water gun to spray the victims from his vehicle. On June 11th, an arrest warrant was signed charging Ayesh with two felony counts of Battery with Prejudice. He was then found on June 18th in Plantation by the Homeland Security Bureau with assistance from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Plantation Police Department. Ayesh was taken to the Broward County Correctional Center and is awaiting extradition to Miami-Dade County. Anyone with additional information related to this investigation is encouraged by deputies to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/hate-crime-northeast-miami-dade-jewish-neighborhood-man-arrested-plantation/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Ana Maria  Soler","publishDate":"2026-06-19T23:32:44.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F19%2F8a8691d3-92d6-4a25-bea5-0e5515109d0f%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F654ca33d29a6ec8e0d4d61bf090912ef%2Fmiami-dade-hate-crime-suspect.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"man-accused-of-spraying-victims-with-water-gun-in-miami-dade-predominantly-jewish-neighborhood-deput"},{"id":"kxk6bx","archiveId":"38qy2o","title":"American pride rings across Bayfront Park as US beats Australia 2-0","excerpt":"As the final seconds of Team USA’s match against Australia counted down, fans in Bayfront Park exploded with joy to celebrate the win for the Americans.

The U.S. struck early in Friday’s match, with Cameron Burgess scoring the first goal of the affair at the 11-minute mark. Fans decked in stars and stripes erupted into cheers across the Bayfront Park amphitheater after taking the early lead. For many, it was an opportunity to come together as a stronger community of soccer lovers in South Florida. “So excited to be first around my neighbors and my fellow countrymen,” said Team USA fan Carlo Ricordi. Others expressed optimism about the United States’ chances of winning the World Cup this year. “I’m 100% USA. I would love to see a cup come home,” said Team USA fan Jonathan Sobenas. Boisterous chants of “USA, USA, USA” continued to roar throughout the park for much of the match. “Greatest country in the world. I’m proud to be an American. I’m proud to be supporting my country; we’re smacking Australia. I just love to see it,” said a USA fan. After coming off a dominant 4-1 victory over Paraguay, fans said this game against Australia, who were fresh off a 2-1 victory over Turkey in their World Cup opener, was a major showdown for Group D supremacy. “I like their chances of holding this out, and I think we’re gonna go pretty far in this tournament,” said Ricordi. With the stakes as high as they were, it was South Florida’s own Alex Freeman who extended the Americans’ lead to 2-0, heading in a deflected shot by Sergiño Dest for his first career World Cup goal before halftime. The Americans never gave the Aussies a chance to tie it up, winning the match 2-0. While the official Fan Fest watch party was filled with a sea of red, white, and blue buzzing over the critical game ahead of the country’s 250th celebration, some came from the land down under to show support for their squad. “Even though we’re a little speck over there, we’re proud and loud,” said an Aussie fan. Even the youngest fans in the crowd were showing off that electric energy as the Americans went on to win the game, securing their spot in the World Cup knockout round. No matter which team fans in downtown Miami were representing, the passion was evident in every interaction, with fans of different teams cheering together, talking smack, and making new friends to enjoy the game with. While the U.S. ultimately came out victorious, this won’t be the last opportunity for fans to experience the exciting atmosphere at Bayfront Park. FIFA Fan Fest is free of charge and will be open to the public on match days through July 5.

(AP) — Ever since Scotland fans learned they’d begin the country’s ninth World Cup appearance in Boston, plans were being made for a party. “I knew there was going to be a tsunami of Tartan Army (Scotland fans),” said Jason Waddleton, a Scotland native and owner of The Haven, a Sco","content":"FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Ever since Scotland fans learned they’d begin the country’s ninth World Cup appearance in Boston, plans were being made for a party. “I knew there was going to be a tsunami of Tartan Army (Scotland fans),” said Jason Waddleton, a Scotland native and owner of The Haven, a Scottish restaurant and bar in Boston’s Jamaica Plain neighborhood since 2010. He was right. First, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey agreed to temporarily extend bar and restaurant hours during the World Cup. Next came thousands of Scots — one estimate is as high as 50,000 — descending on the Boston area, including nearby Providence, Rhode Island, which has become a home base for many of them over the past few weeks. Then it was the Tartan Army marching through Boston’s streets following the country’s opening win over Haiti last week — taking over the city’s famed Fenway Park alongside Red Sox Nation after the team dubbed it “Scottish Heritage Celebration Night.” And the taps have been running nonstop. World Cup fans in Boston, especially the Scots, have put a serious strain on the beer supply in a city that is accustomed to big drinking holidays in St. Patrick’s Day and the Fourth of July. The Haven, which has long served Scotland’s top-selling beer, Tennent’s Lager, has gone from four kegs a week to ordering 50 just for this week. Other bars have sold out of Tennent’s and have tripled their orders to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Sam Adams said its Boston taproom ran out of their famed Samuel Adams Boston Lager last weekend after Scottish fans descended on the city. “We’ve basically blown through our own allocation. We still have it and we’ll get more in on Monday,” Waddleton said. The celebratory atmosphere intensified Friday as Scotland prepared to play its second World Cup match of the tournament outside Boston. “They know how to party, how to make friends and influence people,” Waddleton said of the Scots. Scots fill pubs in the Boston area, challenging beer reserves One of the most sought-after beverages in Boston pubs over the last week is Tennent’s Lager. Once only available at The Haven, before the tournament started Tennent’s made deals and distributed kegs of its product to 80 bars in Boston and surrounding areas. Samantha Crawford, the international marketing manager for Tennent’s, said they started preparing to distribute their product to the U.S. as soon as Scotland qualified for the the World Cup in November. They’ve also sent supplies to Miami bars ahead of Scotland’s match against Brazil next week. “It’s been a long time in the making. The next day we got to work,” she said of the preparations to make sure the beer is stocked in the U.S. She said the beer is ingrained in the sports culture in Scotland. Many area bars and restaurants have been caught by surprise Mivan Spencer, owner of Caffe Dello Sport in Boston’s North End, said he is used to handling large crowds for major soccer tournaments, but has been surprised by the amount of business he’s seen during the World Cup. “After the first weekend of matches I definitely ran out of almost everything,” Spencer said. “Luckily I have a couple other restaurants I borrowed product from to get me through.” The first thing he sold out of was Tennent’s, before quickly selling out of Peroni. Spencer said he’s since tripled his usual alcohol order for this week, saying it’s so “I don’t run out of a single thing.” Over at High Street Place, a food hall in downtown Boston, beverage supplies that were expected to last a week were consumed in four days, said Lauren Johnson, a senior marketplace manager at the venue. “Fortunately, we have great partners, and our distributors were able to pivot quickly and increase subsequent orders to keep pace with demand seamlessly,” she said. Tapping in — and out — of iconic Boston beer Sam Adams Sam Adams said its Boston taproom ran out of their famed Samuel Adams Boston Lager last weekend. From Thursday to Sunday, the Boston-based brewer said the Tartan Army drank four times as much Boston Lager as the establishment typically sells during a four-day holiday stretch like the Fourth of July. To date, Sam Adams has sold more than 4,000 pints of Boston Lager, resulting in about 90 empty kegs, said Devon Sage, a Sam Adams spokesperson. “We’ve had to schedule four ‘emergency deliveries’ to the Taproom,” Sage wrote in an email. Soccer diplomacy comes to Massachusetts because of the World Cup Politicians in Massachusetts have also joined in on the soccer craze. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has been a fixture at Boston’s fan festival and made appearances at several watch parties. Gov. Healey declared June 18 “World Cup Fans Appreciation Day” and was spotted at The Haven behind the bar pouring drinks for patrons. It brought a smile to Waddleton’s face, though he said the governor may need to work on her bartending skills a little. “Maura Healey needs to learn how to pour a pint before getting that Sunday shift she asked for,” Waddleton said. “But we can work on that.”","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/scotland-fans-have-descended-on-boston-for-the-world-cup-and-bars-are-struggling-to-keep-up/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Kevin Boulandier","publishDate":"2026-06-19T22:26:52.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061926-scotland-fans-swarm-boston.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"scotland-fans-have-descended-on-boston-for-the-world-cup-and-bars-are-struggling-to-keep-up"},{"id":"poawoq","archiveId":"7zxr6p","title":"South Florida black owned media reflect on its legacy this Juneteenth","excerpt":"In March 2027, the Black Press will mark 200 years since the publication of Freedom's Journal, the nation's first Black owned newspaper.","content":"In March 2027, the Black Press will mark 200 years since the publication of Freedom's Journal, the nation's first Black owned newspaper.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/south-florida-black-owned-media-reflect-on-its-legacy-this-juneteenth/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-19T23:27:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F19%2F1682ee5e-46dc-4b42-bd60-e3c22c32091c%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fca37ca1558d27e7ce1d6614d58a38388%2F14278d27e02ac725e3e12f6d188947fa.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"south-florida-black-owned-media-reflect-on-its-legacy-this-juneteenth"},{"id":"rx5v3f","archiveId":"se8jbh","title":"Man arrested after at least 3 injured in series of armed carjackings in southwest Miami-Dade, sheriff's office says","excerpt":"At least three people were rushed to a hospital on Thursday night after a series of armed carjackings in southwest Miami-Dade, according to the sheriff's office.The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said that the incidents began around 8:45 p.m. after deputies responded to reports of an armed carjacking i","content":"At least three people were rushed to a hospital on Thursday night after a series of armed carjackings in southwest Miami-Dade, according to the sheriff's office.The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said that the incidents began around 8:45 p.m. after deputies responded to reports of an armed carjacking in the area of Southwest 67th Avenue and Southwest 40th Street.When those deputies arrived, they said they found a victim who had been beaten and stabbed, and then his vehicle was stolen by an unknown man.A series of armed carjackings in southwest Miami-Dade are under investigation by the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office.

The match was held in Seattle, and the score was ultimately 2-0. Soccer fans, including the American Outlaws, the largest supporter group for Team USA, draped in red, white, and blue and could be heard rooting for Team USA. “USA, USA, USA,” said soccer fans. The energy was electric at Mickey Byrne’s Irish Pub & Restaurant in Hollywood, with soccer fans packed and their eyes locked on the big screen as Team USA took on Australia in a high-stakes World Cup showdown on Friday. “Australia’s a tough team, the Socceroos, but it’s called soccer over here. We’re the real soccer. Let’s go, USA,” said a soccer fan. “It’s good, we’re doing good. We’re great, we got a great team,” said a Team USA fan. About 11 minutes into the match, Team USA scored the first point. “This is something that I probably could never have imagined,” said Matthew Quintana, president of American Outlaws Fort Lauderdale Chapter. “You can’t bottle that, you can’t sell it. You just got to come to Mickey’s and experience it.” “This is a great team. Australia is a good team, too. If we win this, we’re in such a good spot,” said a Team USA fan. “We’re winning it all.” The passion from soccer fans never diminished when Team USA sealed the win. “It’s incredible, you know, sports come to America, and everyone is coming together for national pride,” said Team USA fan Rick. “Absolutely ecstatic, great victory, great run so far by the US soccer team, everything is amazing. The atmosphere itself has been electric all day. I love it,” said Team USA fan Charlie. At the Miami FIFA Fan Festival at Bayfront Park, an eruption happened among thousands of patriotic fans who cheered on Team USA. “So excited to be first around my neighbors and my fellow countrymen,” said a Team USA fan. “I’m 100% USA, and I would love to see a cup come home,” said a Team USA fan. At the Hard Rock Bet World Cup watch party at the Citadel in Miami, the game was more than a match; it was momentum. Miami Heat legend Udonis Haslem was present at the watch party, loving the competition and hoping Team USA can keep the energy rolling. “Haven’t had much success in the last couple years, but I think this is the team that can give us what we’ve been expecting,” said Haslem. That’s exactly how the crowds of fans are feeling as Team USA sealed the win. “Six goals, baby, it can’t get any better,” said a soccer fan. The party is just going to keep rolling, and the race is just starting. Team USA now has back-to-back wins for the first time in nearly 100 years. “I want the USA to finally take one, it’ll be awesome,” said a Team USA fan.

It's the first time in 32 years that the U.S. is hosting the World Cup, this time as one of three host nations alongside Canada and Mexico. The U.S. men's team made it to the Round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. This year's U.S. team roster includes a mix of World Cup veterans and first-timers, with many players who have experience in top European leagues. They'll have home field advantage and enjoy a growing fan base across the country.\"You're playing for 330 million people. That's a big deal. There's added responsibility, added eyes. But at the same time, it's the ultimate goal, the ultimate honor,\" U.S. team captain Tim Ream told CBS News. \"I have no doubt that we could potentially win,\" he said.The U.S. is in Group D and will play at least three games in the group stage in June. Their opponents and schedule are as follows: June 12: The U.S. defeated Paraguay 4-1 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CaliforniaJune 19: The U.S. defeated Australia 2-0 at Seattle's Lumen FieldJune 25: The U.S. returns to SoFi to face Turkey at 10 p.m. ETPlayers of the U.S. pose for a team photo before the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group D match against Paraguay at SoFi Stadium on June 12, 2026, in Inglewood, California.

The top two teams from each group — plus the eight third-place teams with the most points — advance to the round of 32. If it advances, the U.S.' opponent in the knockout stage will depend on the results of the group-stage games. If the U.S. finishes as the Group D winner, it will play on July 1 at 8 p.m. ET in Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.If it finishes as the Group D runner-up, it will play July 3 at 2 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

In a landmark speech to the National Assembly, Prime Minister Manuel Marrero unveiled 176 measures aimed at rolling back the state's role in the economy and attracting investment in everything from banking to tourism and agriculture. Under the reforms, foreign investors are no longer required to form joint ventures with the state, large private enterprises will be authorized, and both Cuban and foreign investors will be allowed to acquire stakes in state companies.These and other huge changes come as the United States exerts relentless pressure on the island, with President Trump musing openly about taking over the Caribbean nation just 90 miles from Florida. Daniel Torralbas, a London-based Cuban economist, described the reforms as \"the most profound\" since the 1959 revolution led by Fidel Castro. They were adopted in a unanimous show of hands by lawmakers at a session which ended with President Miguel Diaz-Canel intoning Castro's famous revolutionary slogan: \"Socialism or death!\" Marrero did not give a time-frame for implementing the reforms but Diaz-Canel had on Wednesday argued the need for \"urgent changes\" to stave off economic collapse.A general view of the Malecon waterfront in Havana, Cuba, on June 18, 2026. Pablo Porciuncula /AFP via Getty Images The oil blockade imposed by Mr. Trump in January, after his ouster of Cuba ally Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, has brought the island's economy to the brink of collapse, forcing the Communist Party into concessions it previously considered heretical. While Havana's custom has always been to blame its woes on a more-than-six-decade U.S. trade embargo, and more recently the oil blockade, Diaz-Canel admitted to the existence of \"obstacles that don't come from outside, nor the blockade.\" In usually frank language, he called out \"slowness, bureaucracy and norms that impede those who want to produce\" as well as \"decisions that we have put off.\" \"Their backs are up against the wall as never before,\" Michael Bustamante, Cuban studies chair at the University of Miami, told Agence France-Presse. \"They're in the uncomfortable position of making changes to their economic model, seemingly because of the pressure that's being exerted on them by the United States.\" A defiant Diaz-Canel insisted that the government was \"not doing this because of pressure from the Yankees,\" but to \"preserve\" socialism. Just a single oil tanker, from Russia, has docked in Cuba since the beginning of the year. Power cuts, sometimes lasting over 30 hours, have become the norm, and food, fuel, drinking water and medicine are in short supply. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, has warned that \"children are dying\" in Cuba because of a shortage of medical supplies and medication. Victor Hierrezuelo, a 63-year-old bank worker, told AFP on Thursday that, absent reforms, \"the revolution will collapse!\" It is unclear, however, whether the changes will satisfy Mr. Trump, who is pushing for a change in Cuba's leaders as well as its economic model. Asked Thursday if Cuba was now in Mr. Trump's sights after he signed a deal to end the Iran war, Vice President JD Vance said Washington wanted Cubans to be \"happy and successful.\" \"We're actually talking to the Cuban government right now about how they could change their ways to change that,\" he added.The U.S. has heaped considerable pressure on Cuba's leadership of late. Last month, the U.S. indicted former Cuban President Raúl Castro, brother of the late Fidel Castro, on charges connected to Cuba's decision to shoot down two civilian planes flown by a humanitarian group in 1996.Prior to that indictment, in early May, CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Havana to meet with senior Cuban officials, where he signaled the U.S. was open to expanding political dialogue between the two countries. On that trip, however, multiple sources told CBS News that Ratcliffe brought along a paramilitary leader who was involved in the U.S. mission to capture Maduro.Many disillusioned locals, weary after weeks of power cuts, which causes food to rot, shrugged off the reforms as too little, too late. But the country's burgeoning small business sector welcomed the changes. They \"offer hope,\" said Mario Gonzales, the 32-year-old manager of a restaurant in Havana's historic old town, who is hoping for a tourism revival.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/cuba-approves-free-market-reforms-in-effort-to-stave-off-economic-collapse/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-19T03:56:37.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F19%2F46d2ffc2-b152-4597-ba1d-33c2442aa5d7%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F7c28e86a062c7ebc88e30f034a2d59c4%2Fgettyimages-2281670383.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"cuba-approves-unprecedented-free-market-reforms-in-effort-to-stave-off-economic-collapse"},{"id":"mro7s5","archiveId":"crpxd7","title":"Brazilian fans pack Miami’s Boteco as excitement grows for highly anticipated matchup against Haiti","excerpt":"A soccer showdown between Brazil and Haiti has many fans across South Florida excited.

The national average for a gallon of gas dropped to $3.99, the lowest level since March 30, according to AAA. Gas prices are still up by more than a dollar since the war started, but have receded in recent weeks as crude prices dropped in expectation of a preliminary deal between the U.S. and Iran to end the conflict. A memorandum of understanding between the countries to end the war reopens the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which one-fifth of the world's oil supply normally flows. The passage has been virtually closed since the war began on Feb. 28, driving up oil and gas prices. More ships began moving through the strait after Mr. Trump formally signed the agreement on Wednesday, with at least 10 commercial vessels traversing the waterway.Brent crude, the international standard, sank 1.4% on Thursday to $78.46 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. benchmark, was down 2.2% to $75.10 a barrel.Will gas prices keep dropping?Patrick De Haan, a petroleum expert at GasBuddy, said in a report this week that the national average for gas could continue to decline, \"provided there isn't a drastic reversal and the U.S. and Iran continue moving in a positive direction.\"He estimates that the cost of regular gas could fall below $3 a gallon by the end of this year or in early 2027, depending on how the situation in the Middle East unfolds. \"One note that could improve the timeline is that Iran is allowed to sell oil on markets again, which could speed up the recovery for global oil inventories,\" he told CBS News in an email.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/gas-prices-below-4-gallon-iran-strait-of-hormuz/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Mary  Cunningham","publishDate":"2026-06-18T19:27:47.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2F130d142d-c3c9-4349-a299-04159b3b5164%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F12ed2a9cd4166bd723a7d4473ef3785c%2Fgettyimages-2281933986.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"gas-prices-fall-below-4-a-gallon-for-the-first-time-in-nearly-3-months"},{"id":"5nyzon","archiveId":"djemrq","title":"Extreme heat continues in South Florida on Friday as severe thunderstorm, flash flood risk rises","excerpt":"Another heat advisory was issued Friday from noon until 7 p.m. in Broward and Miami-Dade counties due to the feels-like temperatures that could reach up to 110 degrees when you factor in the humidity.This Juneteenth will be a scorcher as high temperatures soar into the low to mid-90s once again.This","content":"Another heat advisory was issued Friday from noon until 7 p.m. in Broward and Miami-Dade counties due to the feels-like temperatures that could reach up to 110 degrees when you factor in the humidity.This Juneteenth will be a scorcher as high temperatures soar into the low to mid-90s once again.This graphic shows the Juneteenth forecast in South Florida on Friday, June 19, 2026.

All southbound lanes of Florida’s Turnpike between NW 41 Street and Okeechobee Road are closed, according to officials. Additionally, Krome Avenue between Okeechobee Road and Tamiami Trail in both directions is also closed. On Friday, Florida Forest Service crews set back fires in an effort to choke out the wildfires. 7News cameras captured FFS and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue helicopters dumping buckets of waters on top of the fire. South Florida has been dealing with smoky skies and three wildfires since Sunday night when the fire blaze sparked due to a lightning strike. “These fires present a significant challenge for all responders due to weather shifting winds and other factors,” said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Jason Fernandez. As of Friday afternoon, over 18,000 acres have been burned overall. The Quarry fire is 80% contained while the Well fire is 60% contained. Friday marks day six of the fire fight. Crews continue to douse hotspots and hope Mother Nature lends a hand. “When dry air pulls moisture out of grass, leaves and brush, these organic materials can easily become fuel for fire,” said MDFR’s Erika Benitez. Authorities continue urging those with respiratory conditions to remain indoors. “You should limit your exposure to that smoke and ensure that your family and pets are indoors,” said Fernandez.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/wildfire-fight-shuts-down-sb-turnpike-between-nw-41st-okeechobee-road-over-18000-acres-burned/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Sebastian Cuervo","publishDate":"2026-06-19T18:42:42.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061926-Wildfire-fight-shuts-down-SB-Turnpike-between-NW-41st-Okeechobee-Road-Over-18000-acres-burned.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"wildfire-fight-shuts-down-sb-turnpike-between-nw-41-st-okeechobee-road-over-18000-acres-burned"},{"id":"ntif5k","archiveId":"iexewx","title":"Juneteenth celebrations being held across South Florida this weekend","excerpt":"Americans across the country, including right here in South Florida, are expected to gather this weekend to celebrate Juneteenth, which is a federal holiday that commemorates the end of slavery.","content":"Americans across the country, including right here in South Florida, are expected to gather this weekend to celebrate Juneteenth, which is a federal holiday that commemorates the end of slavery.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/juneteenth-celebrations-being-held-across-south-florida-this-weekend/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-19T12:14:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F19%2F26429b20-2ef4-46f6-bd10-60b1ab7f378c%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fcb7e3a6b933be6dfa7c2094fb0e3baa8%2F564d16967fe2640c4392f80e0eb13e1d.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"juneteenth-celebrations-being-held-across-south-florida-this-weekend"},{"id":"325dta","archiveId":"d633bp","title":"U.S. clinches spot in World Cup knockout round with dominant 2-0 win over Australia","excerpt":"In front of a roaring Seattle crowd, the U.S. men's soccer team on Friday defeated Australia 2-0 in its second World Cup match, clinching a spot in the Round of 32 in the process.Despite missing star attacking midfielder Christian Pulisic to a calf injury, the U.S. put on a spectacular performance a","content":"In front of a roaring Seattle crowd, the U.S. men's soccer team on Friday defeated Australia 2-0 in its second World Cup match, clinching a spot in the Round of 32 in the process.Despite missing star attacking midfielder Christian Pulisic to a calf injury, the U.S. put on a spectacular performance against a gritty Australian team. The U.S. showed that its 4-1 win over Paraguay in its opener was no fluke. From the first whistle, the U.S. took control of the game, dominating possession and putting the Socceroos on their heels. Alex Freeman of U.S. celebrates with his teammates after scoring his team's second goal during the World Cup against Australia at Seattle Stadium on June 19, 2026, in Seattle, Washington. MB Media / Getty Images The U.S. opened the scoring in the 11th minute with an own goal from Australia's Cameron Burgess, who mishandled a brilliant run and pass from U.S. forward Folarin Balogun into his own net.U.S. right back Alex Freeman — the youngest player on the team at 21 and son of Super Bowl champion Antonio Freeman —doubled the score in the 43rd minute when he put in a header off a deflected shot that rebounded off Australia's defensive line for his first career World Cup. The win puts the U.S. at the top of Group G with 6 points. It faces Turkey in its final match on June 25 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Australia was never able to recreate the magic of its World Cup opener last week, when it shocked Turkey 2-0. Sitting on 3 points, it will likely need at least a tie in its final group match against Paraguay to ensure it goes through to the next round.Prior to the match, U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino said he wanted his team to match Australia's intensity.\"I think we need to play on the edge of the line,\" Pochettino said, \"with not crossing the lines of the rules.\"The last time the Americans served as World Cup hosts in 1994, they advanced by being one of the best third-place teams. They then lost to eventual champion Brazil in their next match, which was in the round of 16.

Another big matchup will take over Miami Stadium on Sunday as Uruguay returns to South Florida to take on Cabo Verde following the South American team’s dramatic draw against Spain. Many fans are set to fill the seats for the the highly anticipated showdown, but when mixed with South Florida traffic, chaos and unpredictability are expected. Soccer fan Jonathan Odom was among thousands who had trouble getting to Monday’s game. “I’ve been here for an hour, and there’s still no school bus. Probably the worst setup I’ve ever seen,” he said. Fans without parking passes were required to board shuttle buses to get into the stadium, which created major delays and even caused many to to miss part of the match. “It was moving at a pace that I was like, ‘It’s gonna be close to game time,’ and it was,” said Odom. “We missed the first kick, and we missed the pregame stuff, which I really wanted to see.” It’s important for ticketholders to plan ahead. “It was one of the best experiences I’ve had, but it was, like, it could’ve been so much better if the leading up process was a little bit better,” said Odom. Ahead of Sunday’s game, officials remind fans to be mindful and not come to the stadium without a ticket, as they will not be allowed anywhere on the property. Ticketholders will pass through multiple ticket and security checkpoints to enter the stadium. Heavy law enforcement and security presences are to be expected at the match. For those planning to drive to the game, parking is extremely limited and will only be available to those who bought parking in advance, which will not be available for purchase on match day. For those taking rideshare services like Uber or Lyft, drop-offs and pickups will not be allowed at the stadium. There will be designated spots for fans instead. Roads will be closed all day near the stadium starting at 5 a.m. Exit 2X north and southbound of the Florida Turnpike will also be closed, and post-game, portions of the Golden Glades Interchange will be reserved for buses only. To get to the game with ease, offficials have recommended using public transportation and shuttle services. The Miami Game Day Express Shuttle will offer free round-trip transportation for verified ticket holders. Brightline’s Aventura Station will also be available as a Miami Game Day Express Shuttle hub. Attendees are advised to anticipate heavy traffic congestion on match days like Sunday, as the World Cup continues. Most important of all, officials encourage those going to the game to arrive hours ahead in order to beat traffic and avoid chaos.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/officials-encourage-fans-to-plan-ahead-for-miami-world-cup-matches-amid-heavy-traffic/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Sebastian Cuervo","publishDate":"2026-06-19T18:11:37.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061926-Officials-encouraging-fans-to-plan-ahead-for-Miami-World-Cup-matches-amid-heavy-traffic.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"officials-encourage-fans-to-plan-ahead-for-miami-world-cup-matches-amid-heavy-traffic"},{"id":"ivmgd8","archiveId":"ix4a6","title":"World Cup fans can travel the globe at InterContinental Miami’s themed experience","excerpt":"As fans trickle into South Florida to attend the seven World Cup matches being held at Miami Stadium, a hotel in downtown Miami is hosting an event where guests can travel the globe without ever leaving the city.

InterContinental Miami’s experience, called “Passport To The Cup,” allows guests staying at the hotel to tap into the tournament’s international flair, complete with country-themed cocktails, cuisines, cabanas and more. “It’s absolutely an immersive Miami experience as well as the World Cup experience,” said Glenn Sampert, the hotel’s general manager. Hotel officials said that from the moment guests enter the hotel, the FIFA fiesta begins. “It’s around the hotel, so from the arrival experience, coming through the front doors of the hotel, there’s a great photo opportunity in the lobby,” said Sampert. “We have globally inspired cocktails in our Toro Toro bar.” At the Toro Toro bar, bartender Carlos is mixing cocktails from around the world for fans. “This is going to be the Colombia cocktail for the ‘Passport To The Cup,'” he said. “Then I’m going to top it with some passion fruit pearls. Viva Colombia!” For yummy eats, the hotel offers a variety of dishes inspired by the 48 countries participating in the matches. “The beautiful InterContinental Club Lounge has different plates that are inspired by different countries that are participating,” said Sampert. The festivities aren’t only reserved for the food and bar. At the poolside, the hotel hosts themed cabanas for fans to watch their favorite country play. “Scotland, Portugal, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, United States of America and Colombia!” said Gina Genna, the hotel’s director of marketing. Genna said fans will be in a prime location by staying at the InterContinental. “Intercontinental Miami is located in the heart of all the action, especially the official free Fan Fest [at Bayfront Park], so our guests can wake up and enjoy breakfast, play a quick game of soccer on our skyline, enjoy a cabana for the day with curated cocktails, and then walk to the Fan Fest for free,” she said.

No arrests were reported, and police said the group dispersed without incident.Still, nearby residents say the disruption is part of an ongoing problem.\"I told them enough is enough, get these children out of here, because it was going on 1 a.m.,\" said Tammy Washburn, who lives next door.Washburn estimated that nearly 50 teens flooded her street Saturday night, creating noise and chaos that lasted into the early hours. She reported witnessing partygoers urinating on a neighbor's lawn and leaving trash behind.\"It's just showing no respect for the rest of the neighborhood,\" said Ted Inserra, president of the River Oaks Civic Association.Inserra said complaints about unruly short-term rental guests are becoming more frequent. At a civic association meeting Thursday, city code enforcement officers reminded residents that Fort Lauderdale has a complaint system that can suspend a short-term rental after three violations.Some residents, however, say enforcement is not enough and are calling for property owners to take more responsibility.\"There is no checking on their end,\" Inserra said. \"As long as they can pay, they're going to let the people in, it seems.\"The property owner could not be reached for comment, and calls from CBS News Miami were declined multiple times. Fort Lauderdale police confirmed it was the owner who contacted authorities to break up the party.Neighbors said they overheard teens complaining that the gathering, described as a birthday party, had been shut down.\"I couldn't care less about his birthday party,\" Washburn said. \"All I wanted was peace and quiet.\"While police said the teens left without further issues, neighbors worry it is only a matter of time before a more serious incident occurs.\"It's an accident waiting to happen,\" Washburn said.Police advise residents to specify if a complaint involves a short-term rental when calling 911, as those cases are handled differently.

Hezbollah and Israel went to war shortly after the outbreak of the wider conflict, with Hezbollah firing rockets and drones at civilian communities in northern Israel and Israel seizing large swaths of southern Lebanon. The interim agreement to end the Iran war has already reopened the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran effectively closed, cutting the global economy off from significant supplies of oil and natural gas. The deal would also relaunch talks on Iran’s nuclear program, the core issue over which Israel and the U.S. began the war on Feb. 28. But the accord already faces threats, chiefly from Lebanon, with the fighting there leading to a delay in the start of talks planned for Friday in Switzerland. The agreement calls for a halt to military operations in Lebanon and for its sovereignty to be respected. Neither Israel nor Hezbollah is a party to the deal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to keep Israeli forces in southern Lebanon until the threat is eliminated. Hezbollah has refused to halt its attacks unless Israel commits to withdrawing from Lebanon, which Iran says is also a condition of the deal. Firing goes on along Lebanese border Hours after officials told news organizations about the truce, Israeli artillery fire could still be heard from northern Israel along the Lebanese border, and a large explosion was seen erupting inside Lebanon, according to an AP journalist in northern Israel. Word of the attempt to halt the fighting came from two regional officials and a U.S. official. The effort was mediated by Qatar, the U.S. and Iran, the regional officials said. The three officials were not authorized to comment publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity. Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah was supposed to end at 4 p.m. local time, according to a second U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly and also spoke on condition of anonymity. A Hezbollah official said an agreement to stop fighting could be announced soon, but he stopped short of confirming it was in place. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. Netanyahu’s office did not immediately comment. However, Netanyahu posted Friday on X that, on his orders, the Israeli army had “struck powerfully” 150 Hezbollah targets, killing dozens of militants. Military spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said the military has not received different instructions from the government. He said Israeli forces were operating in a “forward defense zone” and would continue doing so. The Israeli ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter, posted on X that Israel “remains firmly committed to an immediate ceasefire” if Hezbollah honors the agreement and ceases hostilities. Iranian and U.S. officials cancel travel to Switzerland Iranian officials did not travel as planned to Switzerland, insisting that the fighting in Lebanon must stop before the talks can take place, according to the two regional officials, an Iranian official and a fourth person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations behind the scenes. U.S. Vice President JD Vance also postponed his trip. The future talks are supposed to bring about a permanent end to the conflict. On Friday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said consultations through mediators were ongoing regarding the next phase of negotiations to draft a final agreement. Because the initial deal was signed digitally earlier this week, the talks in Switzerland were not urgent, and plans were underway to hold a meeting in the coming days, he said. Fighting forces families to flee from villages The Israeli military said four soldiers, including a lieutenant colonel, were killed in an attack on a tank in a village near the southern Lebanese city of Nabatiyeh. An explosive drone attack wounded another five, military officials added. Israel then launched multiple strikes against “Hezbollah infrastructure sites” in Nabatiyeh and other areas, according to a military statement, which accused the militant group of “blatant ceasefire violations.” Later, the military said it also struck targets in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, with Lebanese media saying the village of Douris was hit. “Israel will not tolerate attacks on our soldiers or on our territory, and it will exact a very heavy price from Hezbollah for these attacks,” Netanyahu said in a statement. Hezbollah acknowledged targeting Israeli tanks and said its attacks were in response to what it called Israel’s own violation of the ceasefire. It said the attacks came after Israeli forces attempted to reach the northern side of Ali al-Taher hilltop, a strategic point that overlooks Nabatiyeh and that Israeli troops have been trying to capture. In southern Lebanon, many were forced to flee their villages. “The situation is lawless, we couldn’t stay,” said Mustafa Zain, who was with his six daughters in a pickup truck. Israel’s actions have created a rift between Israel and the U.S., with Trump becoming increasingly critical of his close ally Netanyahu, who is also facing increasing criticism at home. Much still needs to be resolved The discussions in Switzerland were expected to focus on Iran’s nuclear program. Tehran maintains it is peaceful, though it has highly enriched uranium that could be used to build multiple atomic bombs, should it choose to do so, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. Those talks are expected to be difficult. The 2015 nuclear deal, which Trump scrapped during his first term, took more than 18 months to negotiate. The interim deal gives negotiators 60 days to come up with a nuclear agreement, but that can be extended. It outlines lucrative incentives if Iran does reach a new agreement, including the eventual lifting of all international sanctions and a $300 billion fund for postwar reconstruction. Already Iran has won some concessions. Following the signing of the interim deal, the U.S. lifted its blockade of Iran’s ports and is allowing it to sell its oil freely. The deal also calls for Iran’s assets to be unfrozen — though it’s not clear how quickly.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/israel-and-hezbollah-agree-to-halt-fighting-officials-say-as-us-iran-talks-hang-in-the-balance/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Rubén Rosario","publishDate":"2026-06-19T14:04:48.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F260619_Israel_strike_on_Lebanon.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"israel-and-hezbollah-agree-to-halt-fighting-officials-say-as-us-iran-talks-hang-in-the-balance"},{"id":"wl3yp1","archiveId":"iie9of","title":"4 wildfires burning near Everglades force hundreds to evacuate as officials close roads in Miami-Dade, Broward","excerpt":"Hundreds of people voluntarily fled their homes and roads in Miami-Dade and Broward counties were shut down as crews continue their brave effort to extinguish large wildfires that broke out in South Florida this week.The Quarry 2 Fire, the bigger of the three wildfires burning in Miami-Dade, has so ","content":"Hundreds of people voluntarily fled their homes and roads in Miami-Dade and Broward counties were shut down as crews continue their brave effort to extinguish large wildfires that broke out in South Florida this week.The Quarry 2 Fire, the bigger of the three wildfires burning in Miami-Dade, has so far burned nearly 16,000 acres and was 70% contained, according to the Florida Forest Service's Active Wildfire Points map.Thick smoke rises from a wildfire burning in west Miami-Dade. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Fire officials said that a lightning strike over the weekend near the Metro West Detention Center is to blame for igniting that blaze.The Well Fire, which ignited a few miles to the northeast on Tuesday, has burned about 500 acres and was 25% contained.Then late Wednesday afternoon another fire broke out much farther south. That fire, which is being called the Coptic Fire, has burned about 1,680 acres and was 0% contained, according to the National Interagency Fire Center's Watch Duty map.A fourth, smaller fire also broke out Wednesday afternoon, miles even further south in Everglades National Park, according to the Watch Duty map. The \"West of a Fire\" wildfire has burned 51 acres and is 90% contained. Hundreds evacuate as Miami-Dade wildfires continue to scorch landscape: \"They're making everyone leave.\"As the Quarry 2 and Well fires were raging across the South Florida landscape, local officials were urging residents in the area to grab what they could and get out of the area.About 200 people were asked to get out of the area due to the spread of the Quarry 2 wildfire in west Miami-Dade.\"We all had to leave from the trailers,\" a resident named Roxana said. \"Basically, they said that they were starting another fire to control the other one. So, everyone had to leave. They're making everyone leave.\"CBS News Miami crews spotted people grabbing what they could and get out of the area, either by foot, on bikes and in their vehicles.Fire officials had been urging people to heed the warning and get out of the area as the fires continue to rage, even as members of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, as well as fire crews from Broward County and the Florida Forest Service were dumping water on the fires from above in addition to spraying the flames on the ground.\"We can't express enough how sanctity of life is more important than property,\" Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office assistant sheriff Fernand Charles said. \"You can always replace property, but you can't replace the sanctity of life. So, we encourage that you do not frequent this area until we have everything completely settled.\" Marshall Jones, who owns Mack's Fish Camp and Jones Trailer Park, described the scene as the blaze neared the conservation area.\"The smoke density here was chokeable. The visibility was down to maybe 100 feet, and the ability to breathe normally was very impeded by how heavy the smoke was,\" Jones said.Jones remained on-site to assist fire rescue crews in positioning equipment. \"It was just a very rapid-paced, hairy scenario. Everybody was on edge because the fire was about to jump Krome Avenue into the conservation area,\" he said. \"When that happened, the fuel on this side of the levee is even more than on the other side, so we were bracing for the worst-case scenario.\"Relief arrived as conditions began to worsen.\"All of a sudden, the sky opened up, and a massive rainfall came and put out about 85 to 90% of the fire,\" Jones said. \"It was just incredible. The heavens opened up, and nature and God really helped us a lot yesterday evening.\"As of today, Jones is operating on generators, with no timeline for power restoration. Broken power poles line Krome Avenue; Florida Power & Light officials stated they will begin repairs once cleared to enter the area.Residents living near the fires described difficult conditions caused by smoke and airborne particles.\"We could barely breathe,\" said Wilber Rojas, who has lived for 16 years in a nearby mobile home park with his wife.Rojas said conditions became especially concerning Wednesday night, prompting the couple to consider leaving their home.\"There were too many strange particles in the air,\" he said. \"We figured it was the smoke, and we even wore masks.\"Neighbor Adolfo Hernandez said smoke lingered throughout much of the day.Wildfires force officials to close major South Florida roadsOn Thursday night, a Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office vehicle blocked westbound traffic on Krome Avenue, where parts of the roadway remained closed due to active fire conditions. One affected area was near the intersection of Northwest 177th Avenue and U.S. 27.Miami-Dade Fire Rescue released video showing crews battling the fires alongside the Florida Forest Service. More than 100 firefighters have been deployed to combat the blazes.Assistant Fire Chief Jason Fernandez said the fires remain difficult to contain because of changing weather conditions.\"These fires present significant challenges for all responders due to weather, shifting winds and other factors, so we ask the public for your help to stay out of the area,\" Fernandez said. \"The roads are shut down.\"Smoke rises behind a Miami-Dade Fire Rescue truck as wildfires burn in west Miami-Dade. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Authorities have identified four major fires burning in western Miami-Dade County this week. Firefighters have relied on both ground crews and aerial resources to slow the spread.Earlier Thursday, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue helicopters were seen dropping water on active fire zones.Along a partially closed stretch of Krome Avenue, pockets of vegetation were still burning hours after firefighting operations began.Officials urge residents to avoid closed roadways and allow emergency personnel to work safely.\"If you see responders, please allow them to continue to do the work that they're doing,\" Fernandez said.Earlier Thursday, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue helicopters were seen dropping water on active fire zones. Officials are currently managing four fires in the area, with the Quarry Fire serving as the primary focus.Authorities have not yet announced when Krome Avenue will reopen or when residents will be permitted to return to their homes.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/wildfire-miami-dade-broward-florida-everglades-smoke-air-quality/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Steven  Yablonski","publishDate":"2026-06-19T03:34:27.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2F12cb01f3-6764-43a9-934d-bd57438a3209%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F8f42a2f1fad64b9a72765e44ce1aa2f9%2Fcbsmiami-miami-wildfires-thursday-1.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"4-wildfires-burning-near-everglades-force-hundreds-to-evacuate-as-officials-close-roads-in-miami-dad"},{"id":"pbl3tc","archiveId":"2x67c0","title":"Feels-like temperatures lower to 90s after triple digit heat index in South Florida","excerpt":"After Thursday's heat advisory, temperatures will lower back down.","content":"After Thursday's heat advisory, temperatures will lower back down.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/feels-like-temperatures-lower-to-90s-after-triple-digit-heat-index-in-south-florida/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-19T03:28:00.000Z","category":"sports","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F19%2Fe233b819-24ce-49b7-b8ad-42192100b34a%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F4a52f10811bae9567df80c0e537f6785%2Fa6ad28b023c49e70133d2bd78e228225.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"feels-like-temperatures-lower-to-90s-after-triple-digit-heat-index-in-south-florida"},{"id":"y9mj01","archiveId":"r1lu7f","title":"As Juneteenth is celebrated across the US, Obama’s presidential center opens in Chicago","excerpt":"DALLAS (AP) — As people gather across the U.S. to celebrate Juneteenth on Friday, former President Barack Obama’s presidential center will open its doors to the public for the first time.

Located on a sprawling campus on Chicago’s South Side, the center for the nation’s first Black president has been designed to inspire people to make the change they want to see in their own communities. It’s the kind of contemplation that also comes as Americans gather for Juneteenth, which celebrates the end of slavery in the U.S. The holiday marks June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Texas at the end of the Civil War with an order declaring the state’s enslaved people were free with “absolute equality” 2 1/2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved people in the South. “Juneteenth represents not just a commemoration of the end of slavery but it’s also part of the ongoing struggle for absolute equality and that ideal in American life,” said W. Caleb McDaniel, a Rice University professor and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book “Sweet Taste of Liberty.” Obama’s presidential center in Chicago Several days of events have been planned for the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center, including a dedication ceremony held Thursday. The center’s public opening also arrives as a symbolic convergence of legacy and liberation. The nation is grappling with deepening political division and renewed questions about the arc of racial progress as the Supreme Court hollowed out the Voting Rights Act, endangering Black political representation in Congress. The nearly 20-acre (8-hectare) campus includes a museum featuring a life-sized replica of the Oval Office, a garden designed by former first lady Michelle Obama complete with lettuce and strawberry plants, a professional-grade basketball court, a picnic area with grills and a new branch of the Chicago Public Library. In addition to spaces designed to bring people together, the campus that’s expected to draw as many as 1 million visitors annually aims to also encourage personal reflection. Louise Bernard, the museum’s director, has said they’re “inviting people to bring change home, however change may be defined, both small or large.” The museum lets visitors experience high-tech and hands-on exhibits spanning the campaigns, key moments of Obama’s presidency and life at the White House. The history of Juneteenth This is the fifth year since Juneteenth was designated as a federal holiday by former President Joe Biden, who served as Obama’s vice president. But the celebrations, which began in Texas and then spread across the country, have a rich and long history in Black America, with the day often spent gathering for picnics and cookouts. The holiday — a combination of “June” and “nineteenth” — marks the day that U.S. Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger and his troops arrived in the Texas port city of Galveston with the declaration of freedom in General Order No. 3. As the third year of the Civil War neared, President Abraham Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring the freedom of “all persons held as slaves” in the still rebellious states of the Confederacy. Though, for many, it did not mean immediate freedom but a promise of freedom with a Union victory. “It really required the force of arms and the success of U.S. armies to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation,” McDaniel said. About six months after Granger’s arrival in Galveston, the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery was ratified. Celebrations across the nation Galveston, the birthplace of Juneteenth, is celebrating with a daylong gathering at a park with music and fireworks, a parade and a worship service in a historic Black church. In nearby Houston, there will be a lineup of musical artists and a domino tournament at Emancipation Park, established in 1872 by a group of formerly enslaved men. Other events across the U.S. over the long weekend include a parade in Atlanta, a bike ride in Los Angeles and a festival on Martha’s Vineyard. Several cities across the U.S. will host walks named for Opal Lee, the Texas woman who pushed for years to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. Participants will walk 2 1/2 miles to symbolize the 2 1/2 years it took for the Emancipation Proclamation to be enforced in Texas. Lee, known as the “grandmother of Juneteenth,” turns 100 this year. A holiday for reflection Black Texans embraced the date of Granger’s arrival as one to celebrate, and by the 1880s, “it was difficult to find a significant community in Texas where it wasn’t being marked by African Americans,” McDaniel said. “They made it a community celebration, they made it a celebration of not only freedom but also a demonstration of community empowerment and institution-building,” he added. Corey D. B. Walker, dean of Wake Forest University’s divinity school, said the holiday offers a way to recognize the nation’s “complex history” and what it means to be a U.S. citizen, especially amid efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to undermine the retelling of Black history. “I think it really reminds people the importance of understanding a fuller, more robust portrait of our nation’s history and the many contributions of many individuals who have contributed to America’s experiment with democracy,” Walker said.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/as-juneteenth-is-celebrated-across-the-us-obamas-presidential-center-opens-in-chicago/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Rubén Rosario","publishDate":"2026-06-19T12:39:37.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F260619_Juneteenth_Festival_Buffalo_New_York.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"as-juneteenth-is-celebrated-across-the-us-obamas-presidential-center-opens-in-chicago"},{"id":"1ms6em","archiveId":"tqmuvv","title":"The Miami Book Hub: Guest Author Timothy Schmand with J.

Despite just two yellow cards being shown, the game got heated, with tempers boiling over early in the first 45 minutes. So egregious was the physicality in the eyes of the typically affable Chris Richards, the American defender seethed to reporters after the 2-1 win, “They’re lucky it was a friendly. I was ready to go,” according to The Athletic. “And if (referee Kwinsi Williams) didn’t give me a sh*t yellow in the corner, I probably would’ve killed somebody.” How his players reacted, or their lack of reaction, to the Socceroos’ style of play triggered United States coach Mauricio Pochettino to tap into his primal instinct as a ticked-off manager. He laid into the squad at the break, giving his players a bit of a talking to after the USMNT’s best player, Christian Pulisic, was forced to leave the game with a leg injury. Pochettino’s words that day echo within his team and have become part of USMNT culture ahead of Friday’s crucial Group D kickoff (3 p.m. ET). “‘These guys can’t kick us around!’” US player Sebastian Berhalter recounted the coach’s outburst this week in the buildup to Friday’s tilt between the two teams in Seattle. “They (Australia) were putting in challenges and I think that’s one of the reasons Mauricio had that halftime rant … I think he was right.” Berhalter wasn’t done enlightening the gathered media about what the former Chelsea and Tottenham man has brought to the squad since taking over from Berhalter’s father, Gregg, as the team’s head coach. “One is that we’re American and we don’t take sh*t” the midfielder said. “I think that’s something that he really put in (here). “Even though he’s Argentinian, he has that mindset of like, look, this is what we do and this is who we are and this is what America’s about. So even from the outside perspective, he showed us Americans what we’re about. He really drilled that into us.” Berhalter’s honest talk quickly reached the Socceroos camp. When Australia defender Alessandro Circati was asked about the midfielder’s remarks on Wednesday, he initially laughed and didn’t have a response, but then added, “I mean, we don’t take it either. I think we’re just out there to play a game of football, to win and to do our best. And yeah, it doesn’t matter what he said.” The match will no doubt follow a similar theme to that game last fall, with both sides leaning into their physicality and willingness to ride the fine line between bossing play and racking up cards. Circati rightfully noted the two national teams are more similar than different. “We’re a very big team, a very physical team. Even players, which maybe you look at and they’re not the biggest players, I think they’re very, very physical. People go into challenges giving 100 percent. And if anything, I wouldn’t see it any less physical than the last game because now there’s big stakes on the line.” American Tim Weah, who may see more playing time Friday with Pulisic nursing a calf injury, dittoed Circati this week when asked about the hype surrounding the showdown. “When you look at the Australian team, they’re a young team that has a lot of fight, a lot of grit, and a lot of hunger, just like us,” the forward said. “We respect them in the same way that we respect any other opponent. “I think it’s going to be a lovely game.” Will he or won’t he play? Fans are rightly questioning if Pulisic will be able to go against the Australians. The captain, whose skill and flair have propelled him to be the face of the team for years, is nursing a left calf injury and has spent most of the week training on his own away from his teammates. Somewhat lost in the euphoria of the Americans’ dominating win over Paraguay in the US’ first match in Group D play was Pulisic’s quiet substitution at halftime. After all, the team was up 3-0 at the break, fully in command with fans elated with the team’s tournament debut. “Captain America” was causing major problems for Los Guaraníes’ backline in the first 45 minutes – creatively orchestrating the early opener and then exposing the vulnerable Paraguayan defense again to pick out striker Folarin Balogun for the Americans’ second goal.

Israel and the militant group later agreed to renew their ceasefire, three officials said. Word of the ceasefire came from two regional officials and a U.S. official. The truce was mediated by Qatar, the U.S. and Iran, the regional officials said. The three officials were not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity. Hezbollah did not immediately confirm that the ceasefire had gone into effect. Israel did not respond about the truce. Iranian officials didn’t travel as planned to Switzerland, insisting that the fighting in Lebanon must stop before the talks can take place, according to three regional officials and a fourth person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations behind the scenes. U.S. Vice President JD Vance also postponed his trip. Israel’s military struck targets in southern and eastern Lebanon overnight, and Hezbollah reported intense fighting. Lebanon’s Health Ministry said at least 21 people were killed, and Israel said four soldiers died. The conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group is the most precarious part of the Iran deal. Neither Israel nor the militant group signed the agreement — but it is supposed to end their fighting, and Iran has signaled its willingness to risk renewed war in the region for the sake of its interests in Lebanon and its most important regional ally. The interim deal has halted hostilities in Iran and the Gulf and reopened the Strait of Hormuz, after Iranian attacks and threats all but stopped the flow of oil and natural gas through the waterway, creating a global energy crisis. But future talks are supposed to bring about a permanent end to the conflict, including addressing how to restrict Iran’s nuclear program — the core issue over which Israel and the U.S. went to war on Feb. 28. The fighting in Lebanon could unravel the deal The Israeli military said four soldiers, including a lieutenant colonel, were killed in an attack on a tank in a village near the southern Lebanese city of Nabatiyeh. An explosive drone attack wounded another five, it added. Israel then launched multiple strikes against “Hezbollah infrastructure sites” in Nabatiyeh and other areas, according to a military statement, which accused the militant group of “blatant ceasefire violations.” Later, the military said it also struck targets in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, with Lebanese media saying the village of Douris was hit. “Israel will not tolerate attacks on our soldiers or on our territory, and it will exact a very heavy price from Hezbollah for these attacks,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement. Hezbollah acknowledged targeting Israeli tanks and said its attacks were in response to what it called Israel’s own violation of the ceasefire. It said the attacks came after Israeli forces attempted to reach the northern side of Ali al-Taher hilltop, a strategic point that overlooks Nabatiyeh and that Israeli troops have been trying to capture. In southern Lebanon, many were forced to flee their villages. “The situation is lawless, we couldn’t stay,” said Mustafa Zain, who was with his six daughters in a pickup truck. Beyond the fighting, Israel’s occupation of large swaths of southern Lebanon is also a sticking point. Iran insists Israel must withdraw, but Netanyahu has said that forces would remain in a “security zone” of southern Lebanon as long as “Israel’s security needs require it.” Israel’s actions have created a rift between Israel and the U.S., with Trump becoming increasingly critical of his close ally Netanyahu, who is also facing increasing criticism at home. Talks in Switzerland were postponed Iranian officials balked at starting the talks with Vance in Switzerland because of the Israeli action in Lebanon, according to the person familiar with the White House and Iranian positions. It was conveyed to Iran that Israel is ready to move on, and it’s up to Hezbollah to stop carrying out attacks, the person added. Earlier, the White House blamed logistical issues when Vance put off his trip. Two other regional officials, also speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door talks, described Pakistan as being “stunned” by Iran’s decision not to go to the talks. The strait is open but with new guidance Oil tankers began freely moving through the Strait of Hormuz this week after months of being largely unable to use the critical channel. More than 12.5 million barrels of oil were shipped through the waterway on Wednesday night, the U.S. said. Still, it is expected to take weeks or months for the normal flow of oil and gas to resume, even if traffic fully resumes. The interim deal lays out that passage through the strait should be free for 60 days — as it was before the war. But the new Iranian authority charged with overseeing the waterway issued guidance Friday calling on ships to register with it — signaling Tehran likely intends to start charging. The Persian Gulf Strait Authority said Friday that “during the 60-day period, tariffs for security, safety and environmental services, as well as related Iranian insurance, will not be collected from shipowners and will be borne by the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” Much still needs to be resolved The discussions in Switzerland are expected to focus on Iran’s nuclear program. Tehran maintains it is peaceful, though it has highly enriched uranium that could be used to build multiple atomic bombs, should it choose to do so, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. Those talks are expected to be extremely difficult. The 2015 nuclear deal, which Trump scrapped during his first term, took more than 18 months to negotiate. The interim deal gives negotiators 60 days to come up with a nuclear agreement, but that can be extended. It outlines lucrative incentives if Iran does reach a new agreement, including the eventual lifting of all international sanctions and a $300 billion fund for postwar reconstruction. Already Iran has won some concessions. Following the signing of the interim deal, the U.S. lifted its blockade of Iran’s ports and is allowing it to sell its oil freely. The deal also calls for Iran’s assets to be unfrozen — though it’s not clear how quickly.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/talks-between-the-us-and-iran-are-called-off-because-of-fighting-in-lebanon-officials-say/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Rubén Rosario","publishDate":"2026-06-19T14:04:48.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F260619_Israel_strike_on_Lebanon.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"talks-between-the-us-and-iran-are-called-off-because-of-fighting-in-lebanon-officials-say"},{"id":"9tr8zu","archiveId":"zbl4oh","title":"STEAMY AND STORMY FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND","excerpt":"Happy Friday, June 19, 2026, South Florida!

South Florida has been stuck in a steamy weather pattern all week long with 5 consecutive heat advisories issued for coastal and Metro areas of Miami Dade and Broward County. And speaking of the heat alert, it will run from 12PM to 7PM today. While our high temperatures reached into the mid to low 90s each day, our feels like temperatures soared well into the triple digits each afternoon, making it feel quite unbearable across South Florida. And after a steamy week, this morning was no different as our temperatures started off in the mid 80s and the high humidity made it feel like the 90s. Today South Florida can expect another steamy summer-like day (I say ‘summer-like’ because summer doesn’t officially begin until this Sunday). A warm breeze out of the South/Southeast will continue to bring in high humidity while our afternoon high temperatures reach the mid to low 90s again. Feels like temperatures will once again soar into the triple digits for extended periods of time, which is what triggered the heat advisory. The one difference is that scattered showers and thunderstorms will return to the forecast this afternoon, hopefully bringing some brief relief from the heat. And speaking of relief, showers and storms are expected through the upcoming holiday weekend as South Florida can expect the daily dose of showers and storms each afternoon. This will not only bring brief relief on a daily basis, but will also hopefully help put out several of the wildfires across western Miami-Dade. But even with showers returning to the forecast, very light and variable winds across South Florida will help temperatures stay on the steamy side in the middle to low 90s. Unfortunately, it looks like the sweltering heat will stick around through at least the first half of next week. In the tropics, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring the remnants of what was Tropical Storm Arthur as it continues to dump heavy rain across the southeastern US and the Carolinas . And while no development or organization is expected while it remains over land, the leftover moisture from Arthur may actually regenerate into a tropical system once it moves over water off of the Mid-Atlantic coast. The rest of the Atlantic basin looks quiet! Have a wonderful weekend. And happy Father’s day to all dads out there!

According to the Miami-Dade Sherif’s Office, the violent chain of events began when deputies found a man beaten and stabbed near a Papa Johns’ at the intersection of Southwest 67th Avenue and 40th Street, at around 8:45 p.m. on Thursday. Detectives said the man’s car was stolen by his attacker. Paramedics transported the victim to an area hospital in critical condition. A short while later, investigators said, deputies responded to a 7-Eleven near Southwest 137th Avenue and 56th Street, as well as a gas station near Southwest 157th Avenue and 88th Street. Surveillance video obtained exclusively by 7News shows a man covered in blood and holding his neck as he walks inside the 7-Eleven begging for help, just moments after he was attacked. Rescue crews transported the victims in both of these incidents to the hospital. Fortunately, they are expected to be OK. As they intensified their search for the person responsible, deputies ended up at a shopping center near Southwest 152nd Avenue and 72nd Street. It was there where, detectives said, they found one of the stolen cars, as well as a man who matched the description of the person they were looking for. After a brief pursuit on foot, the subject ended up in handcuffs. Detectives at this scene were seen collecting evidence as two cars were towed away. It’s unclear whether the subject who was detained was responsible for all of the incidents or whether other people were involved, as MDSO’s Robbery Unit continues to investigate these carjackings and robberies.

Despite just two yellow cards being shown, the game got heated, with tempers boiling over early in the first 45 minutes. So egregious was the physicality in the eyes of the typically affable Chris Richards, the American defender seethed to reporters after the 2-1 win, “They’re lucky it was a friendly. I was ready to go,” according to The Athletic. “And if (referee Kwinsi Williams) didn’t give me a sh*t yellow in the corner, I probably would’ve killed somebody.” How his players reacted, or their lack of reaction, to the Socceroos’ style of play triggered United States coach Mauricio Pochettino to tap into his primal instinct as a ticked-off manager. He laid into the squad at the break, giving his players a bit of a talking to after the USMNT’s best player, Christian Pulisic, was forced to leave the game with a leg injury. Pochettino’s words that day echo within his team and have become part of USMNT culture ahead of Friday’s crucial Group D kickoff (3 p.m. ET). “‘These guys can’t kick us around!’” US player Sebastian Berhalter recounted the coach’s outburst this week in the buildup to Friday’s tilt between the two teams in Seattle. “They (Australia) were putting in challenges and I think that’s one of the reasons Mauricio had that halftime rant … I think he was right.” Berhalter wasn’t done enlightening the gathered media about what the former Chelsea and Tottenham man has brought to the squad since taking over from Berhalter’s father, Gregg, as the team’s head coach. “One is that we’re American and we don’t take sh*t” the midfielder said. “I think that’s something that he really put in (here). “Even though he’s Argentinian, he has that mindset of like, look, this is what we do and this is who we are and this is what America’s about. So even from the outside perspective, he showed us Americans what we’re about. He really drilled that into us.” Berhalter’s honest talk quickly reached the Socceroos camp. When Australia defender Alessandro Circati was asked about the midfielder’s remarks on Wednesday, he initially laughed and didn’t have a response, but then added, “I mean, we don’t take it either. I think we’re just out there to play a game of football, to win and to do our best. And yeah, it doesn’t matter what he said.” The match will no doubt follow a similar theme to that game last fall, with both sides leaning into their physicality and willingness to ride the fine line between bossing play and racking up cards. Circati rightfully noted the two national teams are more similar than different. “We’re a very big team, a very physical team. Even players, which maybe you look at and they’re not the biggest players, I think they’re very, very physical. People go into challenges giving 100 percent. And if anything, I wouldn’t see it any less physical than the last game because now there’s big stakes on the line.” American Tim Weah, who may see more playing time Friday with Pulisic nursing a calf injury, dittoed Circati this week when asked about the hype surrounding the showdown. “When you look at the Australian team, they’re a young team that has a lot of fight, a lot of grit, and a lot of hunger, just like us,” the forward said. “We respect them in the same way that we respect any other opponent. “I think it’s going to be a lovely game.” Will he or won’t he play? Fans are rightly questioning if Pulisic will be able to go against the Australians. The captain, whose skill and flair have propelled him to be the face of the team for years, is nursing a left calf injury and has spent most of the week training on his own away from his teammates. Somewhat lost in the euphoria of the Americans’ dominating win over Paraguay in the US’ first match in Group D play was Pulisic’s quiet substitution at halftime. After all, the team was up 3-0 at the break, fully in command with fans elated with the team’s tournament debut. “Captain America” was causing major problems for Los Guaraníes’ backline in the first 45 minutes – creatively orchestrating the early opener and then exposing the vulnerable Paraguayan defense again to pick out striker Folarin Balogun for the Americans’ second goal. On Thursday, Pochettino said the AC Milan star was giving a “fantastic effort” to heal and had improved since last Friday but was still “evolving.” Pochettino, of course, would want to keep the Aussies on their toes about whether America’s generational talent would play. But after the 27-year-old was controversially forced out of the October match, no doubt the most capped player on the squad (87 appearances) would like another crack at the Socceroos on the biggest stage of them all.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/following-a-feisty-friendly-a-world-cup-showdown-awaits-usa-australia-in-seattle/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Rubén Rosario","publishDate":"2026-06-19T12:28:36.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F260619_Team_USA_vs_Australia_World_Cup.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"following-a-feisty-friendly-a-world-cup-showdown-awaits-usa-australia-in-seattle"},{"id":"g4ykqp","archiveId":"fgq2jl","title":"4 wildfires burning across Miami-Dade as crews fight the flames","excerpt":"As of Thursday, four total wildfires have burned more than 16,000 acres of land, which is bigger than the city of Hialeah.","content":"As of Thursday, four total wildfires have burned more than 16,000 acres of land, which is bigger than the city of Hialeah.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/4-wildfires-burning-across-miami-dade-as-crews-fight-the-flames/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-19T03:19:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F19%2F161301fa-590b-49fd-bec3-3a2ff07e69d4%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fd7d553afbc2723148d8c72000c28923c%2F5ce6ea27fd580e0bbcd0e7c8762e832b.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"4-wildfires-burning-across-miami-dade-as-crews-fight-the-flames"},{"id":"pxcqxj","archiveId":"42y8s5","title":"‘Red, White & Grove: 250 United’ to Celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary at Peacock Park","excerpt":"Coconut Grove will mark Independence Day with a special celebration this year as the community joins the nation in commemorating America’s 250th anniversary.

Soccer fans have been uniting and blending each other’s cultures ever since the tournament got underway. “I love Mexico,” said a fan of the Canadian soccer team in a show of solidarity to Mexico fans. “I feel like it’s so great to see that, a community like, like how a game can just bring so many people together,” said soccer fan Paulina de Lalaima. From Wednesday night’s thrilling Colombia game to a Canada-Qatar blowout on Thursday, Fan Fest at Bayfront Park has shown it all. “I’m happy to see us win our first World Cup game, and amazing,” said fan David Faustini. “Golazo, golazo, golazo,” said another soccer fan. “It don’t even matter, because Spain gonna win. It don’t even matter,” said a third soccer fan. Fans shared their experience at Fan Fest. “It’s a vibe, let me tell you. It’s really fun, there is a lot of different things to do,” said a soccer fan. Visitors from all over the world are also taking in the World Cup madness by representing their teams. ‘I’m from New Zealand,” said a soccer fan. “I’m from England,” said fan Frank Ilett. “You know, you saw Mexico shirts, you saw England shirts, like literally all over the world.” For many people, soccer isn’t just a sport. It’s tradition, family bonding and opportunity. “I think that this has been the healthiest period in North America in the last 20 years. I’ve never seen more humanity, more love, people coming together,” said fan Travis Peterson. “I love this. I am hooked. I’ve been out here for every Canada game. I’m gonna go march with the Scots on Monday. I think this is just such a beautiful thing, and I am so happy right now.” Soccer fans can catch the World Cup fun and watch the matches on WSVN-7.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/world-cup-fever-takes-over-bayfront-park-as-fans-cheer-on-their-teams/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Litzy Grijalba","publishDate":"2026-06-19T03:04:16.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061826-World-Cup-fever-takes-over-at-Bayfront-Park-as-fans-cheer-on-their-teams.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"world-cup-fever-takes-over-bayfront-park-as-fans-cheer-on-their-teams"},{"id":"4xxqc9","archiveId":"kgmkvo","title":"Trump's goals for the Iran war and what he's saying now","excerpt":"Washington — Hours after the U.S. launched its war against Iran in late February, President Trump laid out an aggressive list of war aims.

He pledged to \"destroy their missiles,\" prevent the regime from rebuilding its nuclear program and set the stage for Iranians to \"take over\" the country's government.A week into the conflict, he wrote on Truth Social: \"There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!\"Now, as the Trump administration touts a newly signed memorandum of understanding to extend the U.S.-Iran ceasefire and jumpstart nuclear talks, the president has backed off some of those ambitions. Mr. Trump told reporters this week it's \"OK\" for Iran to keep some of its ballistic missiles. He said he isn't in a hurry to recover Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and isn't vying for \"regime change\" in Iran. The memorandum of understanding also leaves most specifics on the fate of Iran's nuclear program to be determined in additional negotiations over the next 60 days.The president also shared some praise for Iran's current leadership.\"We're dealing with people that I think are very rational people, and they were nice to deal with,\" Mr. Trump said of Iran's current leadership during an event at the G7 summit in France on Tuesday, noting that some prior Iranian leaders were killed during the war. \"They were strong people, smart people. … They're not radicalized and they're looking to help their country.\" Here's what the president and top administration officials have said about key issues related to Iran, then and now:Eliminating ballistic missilesTrump, Feb. 28: \"We're going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally, again, obliterated.\"Secretary of State Marco Rubio, March 2: \"I'm telling you what the objectives of this operation are. The objectives of this operation are to destroy their ballistic missile capability and make sure they can't rebuild it, and make sure that they can't hide behind that to have a nuclear program. That's the objective of the mission.\"Trump, June 17: \"If other countries have them, it's a little bit unfair for [Iran] not to have some. A ballistic missile is not the same thing as what we're talking about, when we talk nuclear. But if Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and they all have some — in relative proportion, I think it's OK.\"Context: While Mr. Trump has said preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is his primary goal, the administration and U.S. allies in the Middle East have long raised concerns about threats posed by Iran's conventional military — especially its ballistic missiles, which can reach Israel and U.S. allies and military assets around the region. Throughout the war, U.S. forces heavily targeted Iran's missile stockpile and missile factories.The U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding does not make any references to ballistic missiles, though Mr. Trump said Wednesday his administration will work on a \"parallel effort\" with Persian Gulf countries to address Iran's conventional missiles and other \"non-nuclear issues.\"Mr. Trump argued Wednesday that most of Iran's missile stockpile was either destroyed or buried under rubble during the war. But he suggested he isn't looking to fully eliminate Iran's ballistic missiles.He also appeared to mock some hawkish Trump supporters who want the country's missile program to be more thoroughly decimated. \"I have guys — I like some of these guys, but I don't think they're smart — 'Sir, you shouldn't let them have any missiles.' I said: 'Well, what am I going to do? Am I going to let Saudi Arabia have missiles, but they can't have them?' … It doesn't work that way.\"\"Nuclear dust\"Trump, April 17: \"The USA will get all nuclear dust — you know what the nuclear dust is? That was that white, powdery substance created by our B2 bombers, those great B2 bombers, late one evening 7 months ago.\"Trump, April 26: \"We have to take that nuclear dust. We're going to take it, and that's part of our negotiation with Iran. We don't want them to have it.\"Trump, June 16: \"What's happening is that at an appropriate time — there's no rush at all. We have cameras from space on it. We know everybody that goes there, which is, like, nobody. The B2 bombers hit it. The entire mountain collapsed inside it. It's a very tough excavation. Nobody else can do it, but us, and probably China. They have the equipment, we have the equipment. We're in no rush, but we get it. And when we get it, we'll destroy it.\"Context: In the years leading up to the war, Iran amassed a stockpile of 60% enriched uranium, which is just a short step away from weapons-grade material. Much of that material was held in a handful of subterranean facilities that were bombed by the U.S. last year, making it difficult to access. During this year's war, the Trump administration strategized on ways to recover the uranium, which the president calls \"nuclear dust.\" An operation to dig through the rubble and take the material would have been among the most challenging and risky special operations missions in U.S. history, experts say.In the memorandum of understanding, the U.S. and Iran \"agreed to resolve the disposition of stockpiled enriched material\" in their talks over the next 60 days. The \"minimum methodology\" is \"down-blending\" the uranium to a lower level of purity onsite, under the International Atomic Energy Agency's supervision.But Mr. Trump suggested this week taking the material is not an urgent task, expressing doubt that Iran can recover it. He said Wednesday \"we'd like to get it psychologically, but nobody's touching it.\"Uranium enrichmentTrump, Feb. 27: \"They want to enrich a little bit. You don't have to enrich when you have that much oil. … I say, no enrichment. Not 20%, 30%. They always want 20%, 30%. … They want it for civil. I think it's uncivil.\"Trump, June 14: The final deal must permanently ensure that Iran \"can only enrich for nonmilitary purposes\" and \"can never go beyond a certain amount,\" the president said in an interview with The New York Times in which he said he wants a suspension on uranium enrichment for 15 or 20 years.Trump, June 17: \"I've said to them always: 'You have probably the third-largest oil reserves in the world. What the hell do you need nuclear for?' … It is a little hard, though, when you say that somebody wants it, other people have it, other adjoining states have it, and you're not letting them have it for purposes of electricity and things like that. It's always a little tough. You have to use a little common sense.\"Vice President JD Vance, June 18: \"The Obama nuclear deal allowed enrichment. Ours will not.\"Context: Iran has long refused to fully give up its uranium enrichment program. Iranian officials insist the program is intended for peaceful purposes, and as recently as last year, U.S. intelligence agencies found Iran was not actively building a nuclear weapon, though Iran has enriched uranium in recent years to levels well beyond what's necessary for most non-military purposes.The 2015 nuclear deal inked by the Obama administration allowed Iran to keep enriching uranium to 3.67%, significantly below the 90% used for bombs, with limits on the size of Iran's stockpile and the number and types of centrifuges Iran could operate. That structure drew criticism at the time, and Mr. Trump withdrew the U.S. from the deal during his first term in office.Prior to the outbreak of war, Mr. Trump said he wanted Iran to agree to \"no enrichment.\"The U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding leaves specifics on uranium enrichment for later, saying only that the two countries \"agreed to discuss the issue of enrichment and other mutually agreed matters related to the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear needs.\" It's unclear what a final deal could look like. Mr. Trump suggested this week it could be \"hard\" to get Iran to fully give up its nuclear program, but Vance suggested the president's red line of no enrichment is still in place.Regime changeTrump, addressing the Iranian people in a video on Truth Social on Feb. 28: \"Take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be, probably, your only chance for generations.\"Trump, March 29: \"We've had regime change, if you look already, because the one regime was decimated, destroyed, they're all dead. The next regime is mostly dead, and the third regime, we're dealing with different people than anybody's dealt with before. It's a whole different group of people. So I would consider that regime change.\"Trump, June 16: \"You talk about regime change. I never cared about regime change.\"Context: In the war's opening hours, Mr. Trump explicitly framed it as an opportunity for the Iranian people to overthrow the Islamic Republic, which has governed Iran since 1979. After Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in strikes, Mr. Trump said he wanted a role in picking Iran's next leader, and was \"disappointed\" by the decision to elevate Khamenei's son to the post of supreme leader.More recently, as the Iranian regime has remained in place, Mr. Trump offered a slightly different view, arguing the killing of prior Iranian leaders was effectively a form of \"regime change.\"Frozen assets and sanctions reliefTrump, May 27: \"No, we're not talking about any easing of sanctions or giving money. No sanctions, no money, no nothing.\"Trump, June 17: \"It's not our money, it's their money. And we froze it at a certain point in time, I guess we're going to have to give it back.\"Context: A key issue for Iran is the removal — or suspension — of intense U.S. sanctions that have hobbled Iran's economy and frozen its assets, many of which date back to the \"maximum pressure\" campaign in Mr. Trump's first term or even earlier. The Obama-era nuclear deal lifted sanctions in exchange for limits on Iran's nuclear program, an arrangement Mr. Trump argued in 2018 gave Iran \"many billions of dollars.\"This week's memorandum of understanding says the U.S. will lift \"all types of sanctions\" against Iran on an \"agreed-upon schedule as part of the final deal.\" The Trump administration has said no sanctions will be removed or assets unfrozen unless Iran demonstrates compliance.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/trump-goals-iran-war-and-what-hes-saying-now-nuclear-missiles-regime-change/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Zak  Hudak","publishDate":"2026-06-19T00:40:04.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2F424e3acb-5f38-4ed8-8a6e-87370ec8a311%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F165acd88dde0755b3941f0c2ebd793f9%2Fap26169796139456.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"trumps-goals-for-the-iran-war-and-what-hes-saying-now"},{"id":"m381ed","archiveId":"nedi82","title":"The Be Strong Intl.

But coming along for the intergalactic ride — one of Hollywood’s hottest hunks. We are going loco for Jason Momoa’s Lobo, a bounty hunter with ’80s style and killer leather pants. Supergirl is taking flight and she’s bringing plenty of chaos along for the ride. The DC adventure follows Kara Zor-El on a galaxy-spanning journey, with Jason Momoa crashing in as boastful bounty hunter Lobo. Alex: “First of all, the look. When you put it on, was there anything that revealed itself to you all suited up?” Jason Momoa: “100%. Just used the wildest creature, I mean, it’s absolutely irreverent, just absolute chaos. The moment I put it on there’s just so much strength and there’s just so much fire.” Alex: “It was giving me 1980s hair magnet Gene Simmons. Did you also feel that too?” Jason Momoa: “Not at all. Lobo wouldn’t know who the [expletive] those guys are.” Lobo may never know the meaning of inside voice but Jason? He’s a lot more lowkey offscreen. Jason Momoa: “I loved every moment of it and I love walking on the set and looking at people look at me and going like, ‘Wow.'” Alex: “Yeah, ’cause every room that he walks into, he owns that.” Jason Momoa: “Oh, my God.” Alex: “So I’m actually wondering how you compare that to being a celebrity, I mean, every room you walk into, you also own that room, whether you like it or not.” Jason Momoa: “It’s very different, that’s a great question. For me, Jason’s like, ‘Ugh.’ Having said that, i love being loud, I’m a Leo so I’m like, ‘I love pink, I love polka-dots, I love big hats.’ But don’t look at me, I don’t want the attention. I’m always slumping around, I don’t like to be like…” Alex: “So inside you’re just a little more humble.” Jason Momoa: “Yeah, but I’m always like that.” And that’s probably good news for South Florida. Alex: “If Lobo were to go to Miami, what do you think would get destroyed first?” Jason Momoa: “He’s definitely blasting down that strip, grabbing up all them cigars, testing them all out.” Alex: “What have you destroyed in Miami?” Intergalactic bounty hunting is one thing.

The favorite fruit of the islands is at the heart of the big celebration, and Deco’s got all the juicy details. How sweet it is! It’s time for the annual Mango Festival. Calibe Thompson: “It’s a Mango Festival, it’s a mango extravaganza.” At the Island Space Caribbean Museum inside the Broward Mall, they’re getting ready for the big blow-out. Calibe Thompson: “Island SPACE Caribbean Museum is the only pan-caribbean heritage museum in the world, and we wanted to celebrate Caribbean American Heritage Month with the king of all fruit, so we married mangoes and June, and we have our mango celebration.” There’s plenty going on at this party. Calibe Thompson: “You are going to have a family-friendly indoor celebration of all things mango, we have live chef demonstrations, we have dancing, we have vendors.” All you papa’s out there, listen up. The spotlight shines on you, as well. Calibe Thompson: “A new feature called the daddies kingdom, that’s where, because we’re doing this on Father’s Day, fathers get pampered, they can sit on a throne with a crown and scepter, they get all kinds of treats and free gifts.” You’ll come out of the event as an expert on this fabulous fruit. Plenty of mango-centric workshops are on hand. First thing you’ll learn, there are a lot of different mangoes out there. Calibe Thompson: “I can tell you we had a container of mangoes brought in from Jamaica, so we’ll have about a dozen varieties from the Caribbean, and in our mango walk, you can see dozens of varieties from South Florida and elsewhere.” One of the chefs who’ll be whipping up some mango magic is local legend, Chef Irie. Chef Irie: “This is my first time participating in the festival, so I’m happy to be here this year.” Chefs come up with a dish that sounds like heaven. Chef Irie: “Spiced shrimp with a mango butter sauce, a mango relish.” Once you see Irie’s masterpiece on the plate, you’ll know why these three words are his motto. Chef Irie: “Mango is life.” The Island SPACE Mango Festival goes down this Sunday at Charles F. Dodge City Center in Pembroke Pines. FOR MORE INFO:Island SPACE Mango FestivalCharles F.

The initiative aims to provide students with cultural immersion and foster global relationships.\"I'm really excited but also a tad bit nervous,\" said 11th grader Shonneice Ferris.For student Samir Rios, the trip offers a chance to engage with a new community. \"The most anticipated thing that I'm looking forward to is most likely the students and the kids,\" Rios said.During the 18-day excursion, students plan to attend local schools, volunteer at an orphanage, and visit sites including Victoria Falls. \"The first week we're going to be going to school in Zimbabwe,\" Ferris said.Despite the program's history of successful trips, BISCEP founder Edwin Sheppard said fundraising efforts have stalled. Many longtime donors have reduced their contributions due to budget constraints.\"A lot of our donors, our past donors, have not been able to donate what they've donated in the past,\" Sheppard said. \"A lot of budget cuts, and so we're still struggling to raise all of the funding.\"Organizers confirmed the trip will proceed as scheduled despite the financial hurdles.\"This is two different schools, two different sides of the world and two different continents, and I think we're going to do something amazing out of this,\" Rios said.The students are scheduled to depart next Wednesday. Organizers continue to seek donations to cover the remaining costs.

The video shows a silver SUV, which appeared to have been following the delivery truck, pulling into the driveway.\"Those packages have a sentimental value to the people you stole them from,\" Tirri said. \"You have no idea what you're taking. You have no idea who you're hurting by taking those packages.\"Tirri expressed shock at the thief's lack of urgency.\"Parking in our front driveway. Getting out of the vehicle with a cigarette in his hand. Walks up to our front door and takes the packages and simply walks back out,\" Tirri said.Retired Miami police Chief Jorge Colina reviewed the footage and noted that the theft fits a pattern of increasingly precise criminal activity.\"This driver is being followed. This person is looking for the right time to strike,\" Colina said. \"They want to try to get it out as quickly as possible before you come home or before you call your neighbor and say, 'Do me a favor. We have a package.'\"Colina suggested that delivery drivers who suspect they are being followed should navigate to a public space.\"You should try to turn into a shopping center. If they turn in with you, pull in, wait a moment, let them park, and then leave. If that car pulls out and follows you, then clearly you need to call the police,\" Colina said.UPS stated that its drivers are trained to remain aware of their surroundings. Meanwhile, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service said it provides training for package carriers on how to handle being followed and encourages neighbors to report vehicles trailing delivery drivers.For residents concerned about future thefts, Colina recommended creating the illusion of occupancy when away, such as leaving a car in the driveway or placing a pair of worn shoes outside the front door.The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office is currently investigating the incident. Authorities are asking anyone with information regarding the individual in the footage to contact law enforcement.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/caught-on-camera-miami-porch-pirate-follows-ups-driver/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Steve  Maugeri","publishDate":"2026-06-19T00:00:28.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2F6650bcc3-1d8c-4c27-bf3e-02eef76053f8%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F3ccce6c86c0808b20d5fcf2eed2fd44c%2Fsnapshot-19.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"miami-house-surveillance-camera-footage-shows-porch-pirate-appearing-to-follow-ups-delivery-driver"},{"id":"t3897v","archiveId":"awry40","title":"Miami has a new cocktail bar with lobster nuggets and DJs","excerpt":"A new Miami bar and lounge has opened in Wynwood with elevated tapas, craft cocktails, and DJs that actually encourage dancing.","content":"A new Miami bar and lounge has opened in Wynwood with elevated tapas, craft cocktails, and DJs that actually encourage dancing.","url":"https://www.miaminewtimes.com/food-drink/miami-has-a-new-cocktail-bar-with-lobster-nuggets-and-djs-40559210/","source":"Miami New Times","author":"Jose D.

Everybody’s looking to get the biggest bang for their buck. A high-end go-to spot in Aventura is offering up a really good deal, with a ton of perks. If you’re ready to be indulged, this is where you want to be. JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort and Spa wants to pamper you this summer. Kyle Simmons: “Indulgence At Every Turn’ is truly a turn-key vacation package and it’s unlike anything else in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.” This trip to heaven will run you $469 per person, but it’s the perfect way to get away from it all. Kyle Simmons: “It’s our best effort at trying to give every family an affordable escape in a luxury resort right here in everybody’s backyard.” You can leave your cares at home when you come here. Kyle Simmons: “From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, it is an all-in, no worries vacation package.” Be sure to come hungry. There’ll be plenty for you to chow down on. Kyle Simmons: “From your very first meal with us, it’s all-in dining, so breakfast, lunch, dinner, no additional cost for that.” Be sure you and your family bring your bathing suits. You’re gonna need them when you ride the wild surf. Kyle Simmons: “It’s a five-acre water park, Tidal Cove. It’s the largest in all of Miami and Fort Lauderdale, and you’re gonna get four admissions to that water park daily with your stay with us.” You can even hit the links if you want. Kyle Simmons: “When you go out to our golf courses, we have two separate championship golf courses. You get a 25% discount on golf as well with the offer.” If outdoor exercise isn’t your thing, not to worry. They’ll have you moving your body indoors. Kyle Simmons: “We have complementary adult fitness classes. There are up to 10 per day that are included in your stay here at the resort.” After you spend your day under the sun, it’s time for dinner. That’s a tasty experience, for sure. Kyle Simmons: “In the evening, you have a very special menu at Corsair that you can choose from as well. It’s a complementary appetizer, entree, and dessert.” Whether you’re visiting South Florida or just looking for a cool stay-cation, “Indulgence at Every Turn” checks all your boxes.

It’s been a pretty solid year for movies, from horror thrillers, alien encounters, to animal tearjerkers and blockbusters. Here’s a look back at some of this year’s best films, so far. Dylan O’Brien: “Have you tried making a distress signal or a bigger fire?” Shock, awe, and eerily impressive chemistry. Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien got down and dirty in the survival horror “Send Help”, and fans ate it up! Inde Navarrette: “I love you so so so so much.” The horror genre isn’t just scary good, it’s shockingly profitable. Films like Obsession, Backrooms, and Hokum proving original storytelling doesn’t just have audiences on the edge of their seats, it leaves them wanting more. Ryan Gosling: “So I met an alien. He’s kinda growing on me. At least he’s not growing in me.” From spooky to sci-fi. If the goal of “Project Hail Mary” was to make this year’s first blockbuster, mission accomplished. The epic adventure starring Ryan Gosling delivers a visually stunning space odyssey that’s both thrilling and heartwarming. Emily Blunt: “What are you gonna do?” Josh O’Connor: “Full disclosure to the whole world.” While “Project Hail Mary” was universally acclaimed, the other major extraterrestrial film was a little less than extraordinary. ‘Disclosure Day’ has an out-of-this-world cast and director, but the film can be polarizing. It may not be Steven Spielberg’s best work, but it’s definitely worth watching. Alfred Molina: “I can deduce that the cleaning lady and the juvenile share a similar affliction.” Sally Field, Lewis Pullman, and an octopus voiced by Alfred Molina tug at your heartstrings in “Remarkably Bright Creatures.” The Netflix family drama explores themes of grief and connection, anchored by Field’s charming performance. Bring the tissues! Julia Louis-Dreyfus: “Our shepherd was murdered. And we will solve the crime.” Another animal tearjerker? The Sheep Detectives! The mystery-comedy starring Hugh Jackman and a voice cast that includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Bryan Cranston is both touching and surprisingly deep. In other words, it’s baaaahhhh-ry good. Anne Hathaway: “Hello!” Stanley Tucci: “Well, look what TJ Maxx dragged in.” When it comes to major blockbusters… Jaafar Jackson: “You know what I’m after?” Miles Teller: “You wanna be the biggest star in the world.” …It doesn’t get any bigger or better than “Michael” and “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emily Blunt delivered a stellar sequel. And “Michael” continues to energize fans and electrify the box office, making it the highest grossing bio-pic off all time. There are still other movies to look forward to this year like The Odyssey, Practical Magic 2, and Dune Part 3.","url":"https://wsvn.com/entertainment/deco-drive/from-send-help-to-michael-deco-looks-back-at-2026s-standout-films/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Litzy

The next game in the 3-0-5 is happening this Sunday, so Happy Father’s Day to all you football-loving dads out there! You don’t need to head to the stadium to watch the game in style! Deco’s checking out a local restaurant that’s making waves right here in North Bay Village. Gooool with the flow! FIFA fever is in full swing at Yaya Coastal Cuisine.

Rick Sarille: “Each day will have a different highlighted match, and based on that, we’ll have a different menu for that match.” For Colombia, that means things like empanadas, bite-sized croquettas, and patacones with shredded beef. Rick Sarille: “We have a special cocktail menu where our mixologists have prepared special aguardiente cocktails with a guaro sour, as well as a guarojito.” Sitting outside on the terrace offers great views.

Volunteers from the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust have been distributing cold water and providing directions to cooling centers for the unhoused in downtown Miami.\"Those are the people we need to reach during an extreme heat day like today,\" said Ron Book, chairman of the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust.Book warned that these conditions pose significant dangers for those living on the streets, emphasizing that even when temperatures dip slightly below 110 degrees, the heat remains hazardous for those suffering from dehydration.The extreme temperatures are also impacting visitors accustomed to cooler climates. At the FIFA Fan Festival in downtown Miami, attendees sought relief at a shaded wall of fans.\"It's not like this in Virginia, I promise you,\" said visitor Devin Williams. Amy Frew, who is visiting from Scotland, described the conditions as \"quite unbearable\" after refilling her water bottle at a station.Safety measures have also been implemented for youth programs. At the True North Classical Academy's Kendall campus, summer camp staff have adjusted outdoor activities to prioritize child safety.\"We usually try to keep them indoors, just because of the pure heat and the index is just so high,\" said Shawn Ramirez, the camp director.Staff are monitoring children for signs of heat exhaustion, and outdoor play is strictly regulated. \"We do 10 to 12-minute intervals on the outdoor games,\" Ramirez said. \"We put them in the shade, get them some water, then the next group goes out there\".","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/south-florida-heat-advisory-safety-measures-june-18-2026/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Manuel  Bojorquez","publishDate":"2026-06-18T23:06:22.000Z","category":"culture","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2Ff9d40da2-e407-467e-9d7e-c4549bb64e3c%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fe20f08c13038e8d35b736d1021d13b20%2Fgettyimages-2256194417.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"south-florida-officials-help-residents-and-visitors-as-heat-index-reaches-105-to-110-degrees"},{"id":"z19lon","archiveId":"e8h0y9","title":"Heat advisory in place for South Florida as officials take safety measures to keep people cool","excerpt":"Volunteers from the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust have been distributing cold water and providing directions to cooling centers for the unhoused in downtown Miami.","content":"Volunteers from the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust have been distributing cold water and providing directions to cooling centers for the unhoused in downtown Miami.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/heat-advisory-in-place-for-south-florida-as-officials-take-safety-measures-to-keep-people-cool/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-18T22:56:00.000Z","category":"sports","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2Faeeea7f9-2c17-4f6c-a285-3a092ef4d000%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F1c72573265ad5b156a0e43d9d7c7f205%2Faeedb8097da28afe44979f7af266c4aa.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"heat-advisory-in-place-for-south-florida-as-officials-take-safety-measures-to-keep-people-cool"},{"id":"8a4a53","archiveId":"4zy2h6","title":"Miami high school students to take a trip to Zimbabwe","excerpt":"Ten students from Miami Central Senior High School will spend 18 days in Zimbabwe as part of the Blindfolded International Student Cultural Exchange Program (BISCEP).","content":"Ten students from Miami Central Senior High School will spend 18 days in Zimbabwe as part of the Blindfolded International Student Cultural Exchange Program (BISCEP).","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/miami-high-school-students-to-take-a-trip-to-zimbabwe/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-18T22:51:00.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2F2cea7f30-5f27-4cf5-b070-ef23f7707922%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fbd2245f926d75bef49859d8c485bf6e3%2F304691a563d090e0fbd1f4d6cfed6fb8.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"miami-high-school-students-to-take-a-trip-to-zimbabwe"},{"id":"ctaoa1","archiveId":"1hn9bs","title":"Man arrested for refusing to leave hotel, getting into dispute with staff in Miami Beach","excerpt":"A man is in trouble for trespassing in Miami Beach.

Jeffries said in a statement Wednesday that Vozinha’s mother will secure a visa in time for Cape Verde’s match against Uruguay on Sunday in Miami. “All fees have been waived consistent with official policy,” Jeffries said. “Travel arrangements are now being made for mother and son to reunite in Miami.” A State Department official told CNN on Thursday that things are “full steam ahead for travel for the game.” “Consistent with all policies, procedures, and standards, full steam ahead for travel for the game,” the official said. Vozinha said after Cape Verde’s shocking draw with Spain on Monday that his mother was not able to attend the match because she could not afford the bond payment for a visa. “She didn’t manage to be here because of the visa … the money we have to pay for the visa,” he told reporters after the match. “We didn’t manage on time, and I would like her to be here.” Cape Verde is one of 50 countries whose citizens are required by the Trump administration to pay a bond of up to $15,000, because of allegations of high rates of overstaying their visas. When asked about Vozinha’s comments, the official said there was no record of a visa request for the player’s mother. The official also noted that the bond is waived for “all relatives of players.” “The US Department of State has no record of this individual applying for a visa. All relatives of players are eligible for visa bond waivers, and the Department is actively reaching out to this player’s family to assist with visa services,” the official said. A source familiar with the matter said their understanding is that Vozinha’s mother does not currently have an active passport and is in the process of obtaining one. The State Department notes on its website that “the bond requirement will be waived for athletes and team members – including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role, and immediate relatives – who are nationals of countries that are competing in the FIFA World Cup 2026 and demonstrate that they meet all requirements for the visa.” It’s a whirlwind rise for Vozinha, a 40-year-old who plays in the Portuguese second division. He made seven saves against Spain, stifling the tournament favorites in his country’s first World Cup match. Many expected Vozinha and Cape Verde to be blown away by the European champions, in the vein of Germany beating tournament debutants Curaçao 7-1 on Sunday. Instead, Vozinha and his defenders frustrated the talented Spanish attack for 90 minutes and held on for the most important result in their country’s soccer history. The nation of around 530,000 people celebrated and much of the world danced along with them, leading to a quick rise in fame for the previously unheralded keeper. With some encouragement from a Brazilian broadcaster, Vozinha’s Instagram has grown from around 50,000 followers to more than 9.7 million as of Tuesday afternoon. Cape Verde next takes the field at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday against Uruguay in Miami.","url":"https://wsvn.com/sports/2026-world-cup/mother-of-cape-verde-goalkeeper-will-be-able-to-watch-her-son-play-in-the-world-cup/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Matthew Garcia","publishDate":"2026-06-18T22:58:27.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061826-vozinha-cape-verde.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"mother-of-cape-verde-goalkeeper-will-be-able-to-watch-her-son-play-in-the-world-cup"},{"id":"z000lu","archiveId":"lqboyt","title":"George Pino trial updates: Full coverage of the fatal Biscayne Bay boat crash case","excerpt":"Miami real estate developer George Pino is standing trial in a case stemming from a 2022 boat crash in Biscayne Bay that killed one of his daughter's teen friends and left another passenger with life-altering injuries. Pino faces manslaughter and vessel homicide charges in connection with the crash ","content":"Miami real estate developer George Pino is standing trial in a case stemming from a 2022 boat crash in Biscayne Bay that killed one of his daughter's teen friends and left another passenger with life-altering injuries. Pino faces manslaughter and vessel homicide charges in connection with the crash near Boca Chita Key, in one of the most closely watched criminal cases in Miami-Dade in recent years.CBS News Miami is streaming the trial live.Key facts of the case• George Pino faces manslaughter and vessel homicide charges.• The boat crash happened near Boca Chita Key in Biscayne Bay in September 2022.• Lucy Fernandez, 17, was killed in the crash.• Katy Puig, now 21, suffered permanent disabilities from her injuries.Day 8: Defense rests its case with final testimony from the defense and rebuttal from the stateA defense expert testified Wednesday, June 17, that George Pino suffered a traumatic brain injury in the 2022 Biscayne Bay boat crash and may have experienced amnesia afterward, as the defense neared the end of its case on Day 8 of the trial.Neurologist Dr. Diana Barratt, who was retained by Pino's defense team last October as a consultant and expert witness, told jurors she was asked to determine whether Pino suffered a traumatic brain injury or concussion that could have caused memory loss following the crash. Barratt testified that she reviewed Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission videos with Pino and concluded that he displayed signs consistent with amnesia.According to Barratt's testimony, Pino was unable to recall details shown in the videos, including information related to victim Lucy Fernandez, who was killed in the crash. When asked by defense attorneys whether she would diagnose Pino based on the information she reviewed, Barratt said she would.Pino's attorneys have previously argued that he suffered amnesia as a result of injuries sustained in the crash, and have sought to limit the use of statements he made during interviews with FWC investigators.Following the defense's decision to rest its case late Wednesday afternoon, prosecutors immediately called rebuttal witnesses, including the fathers of Lucy Fernandez and Katy Puig.Rudy Puig, father of Katy Puig, testified regarding his daughter's condition following the crash. Her father told the court that she is now confined to a wheelchair and requires around-the-clock medical care.Andres Fernandez, Lucy Fernandez's father, also returned to the stand. He testified that while the two families had been close for years, their relationship had grown more distant over time, even though the girls remained friends despite attending different schools.Before resting the defense's case, the judge asked Pino if he intended to testify in his own defense. Pino declined.Day 7: Defense presents its case with emotional testimony from Pino's wife and survivors of the crash After the prosecution rested the day before, the defense laid its case with emotional testimony from Pino's wife and two of Lucy Fernandez's friends who were on the boat during the collision. Two of Fernandez's friends, Claudia Porto Carrero and Natalia Reid, took the stand to recount the moments leading up to and immediately following the impact. Both testified that while the teenagers were celebrating, dancing, and singing, they did not see Pino consuming alcohol that day.Porto Carrero, a relative of Pino, described the chaotic aftermath of the collision to the courtroom, stating that when she opened her eyes, she saw Pino covered in blood.\"The first thing I saw after I opened my eyes was George. And I thought he was dead,\" Porto Carrero said. \"I saw a lot of blood gushing.\"Cecilia Pino, the defendant's wife and the only other adult aboard the boat, provided emotional testimony about her attempts to save the teenagers despite sustaining a gash to her own forehead.\"I wasn't thinking of Mr. Pino,\" she said when asked about the immediate aftermath. \"I was just thinking of the girls.\"During an aggressive cross-examination, prosecutors pressed Cecilia Pino on inconsistencies in her previous statements and accused her of trying to shield her husband from liability during the investigation. The defense also called a maritime navigation expert to the stand Wednesday. The expert testified that tidal conditions on the day of the 2022 crash differed significantly from the conditions present during the state's subsequent re-enactment of the incident.Day 6: Boating expert uses scale models, details force of fatal boat crashThe second week of testimony in the trial of Miami real estate developer George Pino began Monday, June 15, with arguments over the scope of expert testimony before jurors entered the courtroom. Pino's defense team objected to a boating expert discussing navigation rules, arguing jurors could incorrectly equate violations of those rules with the criminal negligence prosecutors must prove to secure a conviction.The judge acknowledged the concern but allowed the testimony, while cautioning jurors about the distinction. Jurors then heard from Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Lt. Paul Albert, a marine crash investigation instructor who examined Pino's boat after the Sept. 4, 2022 crash near Boca Chita Key.Albert used scale models of the vessel and the channel marker it struck to explain how the collision unfolded. Albert testified that the force of the impact caused the boat to twist and tear a large hole into its starboard side. Using diagrams and models, he showed jurors where passengers were seated and explained why Fernandez and Puig sustained the most severe injuries. Albert said those seated closest to the point of impact would have absorbed the greatest force during the collision. The lieutenant also told jurors he was asked by Florida Fish and Wildlife investigators to download GPS data from the vessel as part of the crash investigation.Day 5: First week of trial wrapped up with tense moments between Pino and the prosecutor The first week of the trial ended Friday, June 12, with sharp words between the lead prosecutor on the case and George Pino himself. Moments after jurors were dismissed for the weekend, lead prosecutor Laura Adams confronted Pino in the courtroom. Adams accused the defendant of muttering, \"it happens, it happens,\" warning that his comments could be overheard by the jury. Pino denied the accusation.The exchange capped a heavy day of testimony focused on how state investigators reconstructed the final moments before Pino's 29-foot vessel slammed into a channel marker.Lieutenant Thompson, a lead investigator with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), testified that authorities utilized speed metrics, GPS trackpoints, and a passenger seating chart to recreate the crash sequence. According to prosecutors, the digital simulation allowed investigators to replicate the exact vantage point of Fernandez, who had been filming from the boat prior to the impact.Jurors were also shown footage from Thompson's body-worn camera, a piece of evidence the defense had fought to block prior to trial.In the video recorded at the Elliot Key Marina shortly after the collision, Pino can be seen telling the investigator that his attention was split immediately before the accident.\"I turn back to look and there's two girls sitting in the backseat of the boat,\" Pino said in the footage. \"I was looking at the girls to make sure they were okay in the back. I hit the wave. I tried to sway. And the... left side of the boat hit the pylon.\"The defense maintains the crash was a tragic accident caused by a rogue wake rather than criminal recklessness.Day 4: Jurors see damaged boat; FWC official describes investigationJurors began the morning of the fourth day of the trial outside of the actual courtroom. They took a trip to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation (FWC) yard in North Miami to inspect the heavily damaged 29-foot Robalo boat firsthand, observing a massive fracture in the middle of the vessel. Back in the Miami-Dade courtroom, Manuel Pomares, an FWC lieutenant, took the stand, testifying on the actual investigation of the crash. He also showed a piece of the boat to the jury, testifying what kind of damage it sustained after it hit the channel marker. Pomares said that because the boat capsized and sat upside down in six feet of water off of Boca Chita Key, most of the investigation had to be conducted underwater alongside Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office divers. Investigators recovered multiple items from the ocean floor, including eight cellphones, sunglasses, Yeti-style tumblers, and several alcohol cans. All of those items were presented to the jury as evidence. Pomares also brought in one of the only pieces of the channel marker that they were able to retrieve that day on the scene, as the rest floated away in the water. Day 3: Officer describes crash response; bodycam footage shownA Miami-Dade marine patrol officer who was among the first responders to the 2022 Labor Day weekend boat crash testified Wednesday that his primary focus was providing emergency aid to injured teenage passengers as jurors continued hearing evidence in the trial of Miami developer George Pino.The jury watched body camera footage from the retired officer, showing the chaotic aftermath of the Sept. 4, 2022 crash near Boca Chita Key in Biscayne Bay. The video captured several teenage girls who had been aboard Pino's boat during a weekend celebration for his daughter's 18th birthday, as well as two Good Samaritans who stopped to help after the collision. On one vessel, the girls could be seen awaiting assistance, while Pino appeared on a second boat wearing swim shorts.The officer testified that when he arrived at the scene, two of the girls were lying on the back of one of the Good Samaritan boats. He told jurors his immediate priority was making sure the injured teens received medical attention while additional rescue crews were en route.The officer also testified that first responders performed life-saving measures on Lucy Fernandez for what felt like 30 minutes. Fernandez's family grew visibly emotional in the courtroom as the video of the rescue attempt was played.In the courtroom, Fernandez's father squeezed her mother's arm as they watched the footage. At one point, Fernandez's mother and younger brother left the courtroom distraught.Day 2: Emotional testimony from victim's father, boat crash survivorsJurors in the second day of Miami developer George Pino's trial heard emotional testimony from the father of 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez, who was killed in a 2022 boat crash near Boca Chita Key. Andres Fernandez described the final moments he spent with his daughter on Sept. 4, 2022, before she boarded Pino's boat for an 18th birthday celebration. He also recounted the frantic search for Lucy after the crash and the heartbreaking moment he and his wife identified her at the hospital.Prosecutors also called two of Pino's daughter's friends, Camila Alvarez and Carolina Monterrey, who were aboard the boat when it struck a channel marker while returning from a day on the water. The women testified that passengers were drinking alcohol throughout the day and described a \"one-for-one\" drinking system among the teens. Alvarez testified she consumed about 10 drinks and said everyone on the boat had been drinking before the collision.The survivors detailed the chaotic moments after the crash, describing how passengers were thrown into the water when the boat capsized. They testified that Lucy Fernandez, Katy Puig and Mia Rodriguez were seated together on one side of the vessel and suffered the most serious injuries. Despite acknowledging alcohol consumption and that no one was wearing life jackets, both witnesses said they did not believe Pino appeared unable to operate the boat before the crash.Day 1: Prosecution challenges George Pino's accountProsecutors spent much of their opening statement on June 8 focused upon the moments leading up to the 2022 boat crash that killed a teenage girl, arguing that George Pino's initial account to investigators did not match the evidence collected during the investigation.According to prosecutors, Pino told Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel that another vessel created a large wake, causing him to turn and check on the girls aboard before colliding with a channel marker. The state disputed that version of events and pointed to evidence recovered from the boat, including dozens of alcohol bottles, as it laid out its case to jurors.The proceedings were interrupted several times as Pino became visibly emotional during opening statements. The court was briefly recessed, and the judge ordered a medical evaluation after Pino appeared distressed and began breathing heavily. Paramedics later evaluated him inside the courtroom.Full opening statements were suspended and are expected to continue on Tuesday.George Pino trial: Jury selection and opening statementsAfter a week of jury selection and hundreds of potential jurors that were summoned, six jurors were selected for Pino's trial, which began Monday afternoon.George Pino Miami-Dade Corrections Opening statements were originally scheduled to begin on Monday morning, but the judge pushed that back to Monday afternoon.On the last day of jury selection on June 5, defense attorneys had asked the judge to bring in a last-minute witness, a toxicologist. That's when the state asked the judge to delay the start of the trial by one week.The judge then expressed her frustration by requests from attorneys on both sides.\"Let me tell you all,\" the judge said. \"We are not delaying this trial.\"Jury selection began on June 1 and ended on June 5, with both the defense and prosecution selecting a jury consisting of five men and one woman, as well as four alternates.George Pino and the day of the fatal crashOn Sept. 4, 2022, George and Cecilia Pino hosted a birthday celebration for their daughter aboard their boat. The group included several teenage girls who were lifelong friends and classmates at Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart and Our Lady of Lourdes Academy, including Lucy Fernandez.According to investigators, George Pino was operating the family's 29-foot boat as it returned to the dock when it struck a channel marker near Boca Chita Key. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said Pino told investigators that another vessel had passed by and created a large wake. He allegedly said he turned to check on the girls after the wake and, in doing so, collided with the marker.Lucy Fernandez Our Lady of Lourdes Academy The impact threw everyone on board into the water and ripped a large hole in the side of the vessel. Eleven of the 14 passengers were injured, and six were transported to a hospital. Seventeen-year-old Lucy Fernandez later died from her injuries.

According to court records, Spencer had a violent history with his wife, Karen, before stabbing her to death in the backyard of their home in January 1992. In a conference call Thursday, Jeff Hood, Spencer's spiritual advisor, described the state's pending action as a \"nursing home execution.\"\"The fact that Dusty Ray Spencer is being executed at his age, in his health, says everything we need to know about how haywire this entire system has gone,\" Hood said.In seeking to \"humanize\" Spencer beyond the headlines and mug shots, retired cardiologist Felix Rogers described his friend of 30-years as a survivor of sexual abuse by his father who has overcome substance addictions. While not excusing his crime, Rogers contends Spencer has changed while on Death Row.\"I think if he is to be executed, our own humanity for each one of us will be diminished just a little bit,\" Rogers said. \"Because it means we're admitting we're part of a society that would kill somebody, that would execute a person, despite their many changes. He's not the same person who killed Karen Spencer in 1992.\" Attorney General James Uthmeier recently defended the state's increased use of the death penalty. \"We all take an oath to enforce the law. The people that are being executed have committed some of the most heinous crimes, unspeakable things, many things to women and children,\" Uthmeier said while in Brooksville on May 19.In addition to Spencer's pending execution, Dennis Sochor is scheduled to be put to death on July 14 for the death of an 18-year-old woman he met at a New Year's celebration in a Broward County bar 44 years ago.Sochor is 12 days younger than Spencer, with the executions scheduled 19 days apart.Florida executed 19 men last year, a modern record for the state.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/legal-arguments-against-dusty-ray-spencer-florida-execution/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami  Team","publishDate":"2026-06-18T19:52:38.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2Feca23d1d-24a2-42d3-bd76-04fd66278f46%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F5ad130fe9b36fc1a419712b68008b745%2Fgettyimages-483841158-170667a.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"death-penalty-opponents-friends-argue-against-upcoming-execution-for-florida-man-convicted-of-murder"},{"id":"uriy58","archiveId":"3b24he","title":"Miami-Dade condo residents with disabilities say they are stranded by broken elevator","excerpt":"Residents of a condominium complex near Doral are appealing for help after being stranded on upper floors for more than a month, with an out-of-service elevator.Larry Henson, 83, lives on the fifth floor of the building at 7240 Fontainebleau Boulevard.

He says his arthritis makes it impossible to navigate the stairs, and he and his 76-year-old wife, Sandra Henson, have been relying on family members to deliver food.\"I have arthritis, and I can't get up and down,\" he told CBS News Miami. \"It has been bad. It has been really bad. I don't get up and down. I just walk up and down here on my floor. I have been basically stranded. If it were the 2nd or 3rd floor, I could probably do it. It keeps me from doing anything.\"He added, \"I just don't get up and down, and I feel depressed. It would mean a lot to me to see the elevators fixed. It would be really helpful. It would mean I could be moving around.\"CBS News Miami first reported the service outage at the 7240 building on June 2, noting that the elevator had been non-functional since May 14. While other elevators at the complex — specifically at buildings 9270 and 9180 — were also reported down, service at those locations has since been restored.Sandra Henson said, \"I feel horrible. This is terrible. No up and down. Nothing.\" Pointing to her back, she said, \"I have pain right here.\"Atlas Property Management, the building's management company, declined to comment on camera. However, a spokesperson indicated that a defective elevator valve had been replaced and that they are waiting for an inspection by Miami-Dade County. The company stated they are working with the Advance Elevator Company.Antonio Perez, president of Advance Elevator Company, confirmed to CBS News Miami that the valve was replaced Tuesday and said an inspection had been scheduled by the county for next Monday at noon.Late Wednesday afternoon, a spokesperson for Miami-Dade County confirmed that a hydraulic valve had been replaced. Daniel Lastra with the county's Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources stated that the elevator company must perform a pressure test, which involves running the unit with weights, before it can pass inspection.\"We are standing by for word from the building's management and have been making ourselves available in an expedited fashion to conduct this pending inspection that would allow the elevator to be operational again,\" Lastra said in a statement.He added, \"The test involves running the elevator with weights inside. Those weights need to be provided by the elevator company for them to perform the test. RER's Elevator Safety Section is on standby for tomorrow morning to be present for the test. However, this is all pending whether the weights actually arrive tomorrow. It may happen as late as Monday or sometime next week.\"Last July, CBS News Miami reported on how there were also problems at one building at the complex when elevator service was out for more than a week, but service was restored after a few weeks.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/fontainebleau-condo-complex-elevator-issues-june-2026/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Peter  D'Oench","publishDate":"2026-06-18T19:29:40.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2F76917625-0e7a-426a-bc88-6b03314e273f%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F7e5dd4ef9574c90046d066e8e2c4e518%2Fsnapshot-11.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"miami-dade-condo-residents-with-disabilities-say-they-are-stranded-by-broken-elevator"},{"id":"tr9r57","archiveId":"9crcbw","title":"Hyundai donates $100K to pediatric oncology department at Joe DiMaggio during ‘Hope on Wheels’ event","excerpt":"A South Florida children’s hospital received a generous gift.

Guests at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science will now be able to learn about hundreds of scientists, engineers, and inventors who helped shape the nation’s history. “They are American scientists, so that’s what makes it fun and special as we celebrate our 250th birthday,” said Frost Museum of Science Vice President of Education Dr. Analisa Duran. “America250: Celebrating American Innovation” features displays that let visitors learn about the ideas and breakthroughs of each person who helped American progress over the years. “These are the stories that we tell, and these are the individuals that shaped how we understand science, how we see science, and how we engage in all of these different disciplines in our everyday life,” said Duran. The experience goes beyond simply reading about the lives and successes of each person featured in the exhibit. Guests will also be able to explore interactive activities, learn through hands-on experiences, and enjoy an original planetarium short narrated by Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. With America on the precipice of an impressive milestone, the Frost Museum’s message in this new exhibit is that the next big discovery that advances the country even further into the future could come from anyone. “We have so much more to discover, so much more to explore, and that’s why we are educating children and their families and the next generation of discoverers and explorers,” said Duran.

The tourists from California said the scare on the beach occurred when they noticed a man stalking them as they walked along one of the busy sections of Ocean Drive. According to Miami Beach Police, witnesses and victims stated: “The subject lifted his jacket, at which time they observed a pocket knife tucked into his waistband.” Police said they received complaints about the man from employees of Ocean Drive’s Mango’s as well as from the World Cup tourists. The young tourists said that upon noticing the man, they kept turning their heads to keep an eye on them as he kept following them. According to the report, the tourists told responding officers that at one point, the man asked them, “Why y’all walking so fast?” as he held a knife. Video provided by the Sherbrooke Hotel’s Mitch Novick captured officers parking their cruisers along Collins Avenue after being flagged down by the tourists. The video also shows the area populated with soccer fans draped in themed jerseys and flags. “[The man] was brandishing a knife and swinging it,” said Novick. His cameras captured the confrontation between officers and the subject. “Back up from them right now! Back up from them right now! Drop that [expletive] book-bag right now!” said a Miami Beach officer on video. This isn’t the only time lovers of the World Cup in Miami Beach dealt with a bummer due to a man with a blade. In North Beach on Monday, police arrested a man for destroying an inflatable Uruguay soccer ball. This latest incident has local officials concerned, especially during the World Cup events, where fans will be all over the area. Commissioner Joe Magazine wants areas ripe for Miami Beach crime to be cleaned up through new zoning and development. “When we can have people from all over the world come here for the World Cup, for any event, you name it, and have these incidents not happen,” said Magazine. This latest incident ended without injuries, but with the arrest of Juan Rivera. Rivera faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and allegedly scaring these tourists during their visit to South Beach. As of late Thursday afternoon, Rivera remains behind bars at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in West Miami-Dade.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/world-cup-fans-knife-scare/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Litzy Grijalba","publishDate":"2026-06-18T22:12:44.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061826-Video-of-Juan-Rivera-allegedly-behind-two-tourists-in-Miami-Beach.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"knife-wielding-man-arrested-after-allegedly-stalking-brandishing-knife-toward-world-cup-fans-in-sout"},{"id":"fcclq7","archiveId":"172ru1","title":"Bodycam video shows moments after small plane crashed near Pembroke Pines hospital","excerpt":"Newly released bodycam video shows the aftermath of a small plane that crashed close to a Pembroke Pines hospital.

The May 29 crash landing sent two women to the hospital after the Cessna C172P ended up upside down in a grassy area between some buildings along East Cyprus Drive near the South Florida State Hospital shortly after taking off from North Perry Airport. The new footage from responding Pembroke Pines Police officers captures the moment officers checked on both occupants, who were alert and responsive. Both women could be seen stretched out on the ground a few feet away from the heavily damaged plane as they spoke with officers. Once they were stabilized, both women were taken to an area hospital. “Don’t move, OK? The rescue is coming,” an officer told one of the women. One of the women told officers she’d planned to do some training maneuvers over the Everglades. Several good Samaritans who came out to help told officers about the moment they saw the small aircraft coming down. “Around 300 feet, it had an engine failure,” a witness told officers. “It dipped down, hit the top of that tree and that’s when I knew, I just ran over here,” said a second witness. “It hit the ground right here and then it flipped right there,” said the first witness. On the same day of that crash, city officials aired their frustrations over an increased frequency of planes crashing shortly after takeoff from North Perry Airport. “We have to ascribe seriousness to the threat that this airport represents to the City of Pembroke Pines,” said Pembroke Pines Mayor Angelo Castillo. In what’s felt like an all-too-common occurrence at the airport, the Broward County Aviation Department said there have been 13 crashes and 20 incidents at North Perry between 2020 and 2024. During an August 2025 town hall meeting, residents shared their own concerns about the dangers these crashes pose for the neighborhoods surrounding the airport. In the fall of 2025, county leaders emphasized that they were listening to those concerns. The county later commissioned a safety study to look into operational safety concerns at the airport, which is currently underway. The findings of that study are expected to be released in the coming weeks.

The Midwest, meanwhile, was also dealing with damage after a strong line of storms tore through parts of Illinois, Indiana and northern Kentucky on Wednesday, bringing possible tornadoes. Scores of homes were left without electricity. Arthur was the first tropical storm of the season in the Atlantic basin. Coni Dubois said several inches of water flooded her home overnight in Houma, southwest of New Orleans, but others in the community had worse damage. She’s lived through many hurricanes and other storms, but never witnessed thunder and lightning like this. “It was unbelievable, it literally sounded like hell broke open,” Dubois said. “I thought for sure we had a tornado on top of us. The lightning and the thunder was so consistent, the whole house was lit up like daylight for about 20 minutes.” Arthur weakened into a low-pressure area along the upper Texas coast Wednesday night, but its remnants were expected to dump 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) or more of rain across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and the Florida Panhandle through Friday, according to forecasters. Rain was falling at rates of up to 3 inches (8 centimeters) per hour in parts of Louisiana and Mississippi on Thursday, prompting flash flooding, tornado warnings and widespread power outages. The region had already been soaked by heavy rain earlier in the week. New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno posted a video on Facebook describing relatively minor damage and cleanup efforts. Ahead of the storm, police prepared boats and set up barricades in flood-prone areas. They also opened sandbag distribution sites across Louisiana. In the Midwest, more than 130,000 homes and businesses were without power Thursday afternoon in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia, according to poweroutage.us. A tornado was reported Wednesday evening near Effingham, Illinois, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) southeast of Springfield. Several people suffered minor injuries, officials said. Firefighters responded to damaged homes, collapsed structures, car crashes, downed power lines, gas leaks and blocked roads, Effingham Fire Chief Brant Yochum said. Marla Washburn and her husband, Todd, hunkered down in their basement as a suspected tornado tore through their neighborhood about 70 miles (110 kilometers) north in Blue Mound. They could hear debris smacking into their house and a school across the street lost its roof, which came crashing onto their home. “The whole house shook,” Washburn said in a phone interview, adding that the neighborhood looks like Armageddon. “You don’t know whether to laugh or cry, but we’re OK,” she said. “You look at it and you go, ‘I don’t even know where to start to clean up.’” Also north of Effingham, the weather service reported that a tractor trailer flipped over in high winds on Interstate 57, injuring the driver. Damage from strong winds and a possible tornado were also reported in Florence, Kentucky, near Cincinnati, with news video and photos showing roofs and siding ripped off, as well as downed trees and power lines. The weather service got numerous reports of wind damage across a wide swath, from Iowa and Missouri to Ohio and West Virginia. The strong storms were expected to move through the central Appalachians to New England on Thursday, the weather service said.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/tropical-storm-remnants-drench-gulf-states-after-tornadoes-hit-the-midwest/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Litzy Grijalba","publishDate":"2026-06-18T20:05:44.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061826-Tropical-storm-remnants-drench-Gulf-states-after-tornadoes-hit-the-Midwest.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"tropical-storm-remnants-drench-gulf-states-after-tornadoes-hit-the-midwest"},{"id":"hj6p9b","archiveId":"mg7zf5","title":"South Florida scorcher leading to dangerous conditions as temperatures soar","excerpt":"South Florida residents are being urged to take precautions and stay cool as temperatures soar across the region, with some feels-like temperatures reaching 110 degrees or higher.","content":"South Florida residents are being urged to take precautions and stay cool as temperatures soar across the region, with some feels-like temperatures reaching 110 degrees or higher.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/south-florida-scorcher-leading-to-dangerous-conditions-as-temperatures-soar/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-18T16:35:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2F03a6a4f1-e798-480e-9100-af59fedd3a47%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Ff8a2a0bf051a11bde66158b92ab521b6%2Fb9844d0b4fcc10d344f94b23e3a18b7b.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"south-florida-scorcher-leading-to-dangerous-conditions-as-temperatures-soar"},{"id":"aqp9p6","archiveId":"ev8d6n","title":"Massive wildfires continue scorching Miami-Dade landscape as residents flee, roads close","excerpt":"Fire crews are still trying to contain and extinguish wildfires that continue to send thick plumes of smoke across portions of Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

The lawsuit alleges Williams made defamatory statements falsely accusing her of criminal conduct, including embezzlement, during his time as Opa-locka city manager before he was terminated by the city commission in 2024.\"I just need to clear my name so my residents will know that I stole not one penny from Opa-locka,\" Ervin told CBS News Miami.Williams denied making the statements alleged in the lawsuit.\"No, I've never made those statements, never,\" Williams said. He also called the lawsuit's damages request \"far-fetched.\"Ervin's attorney, Mike Pizzi, argues otherwise.\"Darvin Williams recklessly slandered and made false accusations against City Commissioner Natasha Ervin,\" Pizzi said.Williams is also named in a federal complaint filed by former North Miami Beach employee Marlene Monestime. The complaint alleges she was deprived of her continued employment without due process and seeks legal relief against both Williams and the city.Williams disputes those claims, saying Monestime was not terminated and was offered another position within the organization.\"I had another position that I wanted to place Ms. Monestime in, and she declined it,\" Williams said.Monestime's attorney, Brian Pollock, challenged that.\"The plan was that Ms. Monestime was going to be reassigned, and then she was told that she was organizationally worked out the door,\" Pollock said.In a separate matter, a current North Miami Beach employee has filed a request for whistleblower protection against Williams and the city. The filing alleges the employee was demoted and subjected to harassment and retaliation after reporting what she believed was improper conduct, including abusive comments.Williams said he has no record of receiving a complaint from the employee and maintains she was serving in an interim role.\"She could not be demoted from a position that she never held,\" Williams said.North Miami Beach Mayor Michael Joseph provided the following statement regarding the allegations and ongoing legal matters:\"I am very concerned by the number of allegations being raised regarding the management of our City. When multiple employees independently describe experiences involving intimidation or retaliation after voicing concerns, those claims deserve serious attention. I am also troubled by reports suggesting that City resources, including the Police Department, may have been used as tools for personal or political retribution. The public and our employees deserve confidence that concerns can be raised without fear of consequences, which is why an impartial and thorough review of these matters is absolutely necessary. The city commission needs to act immediately to set this right.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/north-miami-beach-city-manager-darvin-williams-legal-challenges-2026/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Chelsea  Jones","publishDate":"2026-06-18T14:54:36.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2F92aab5fb-3598-4f01-81bb-d3ea86c7b00a%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fbdd9d5e1454d78203fcb046983647b9a%2Fsnapshot-15.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"north-miami-beach-city-manager-faces-multiple-legal-challenges-alleging-workplace-misconduct"},{"id":"580d9i","archiveId":"76iiue","title":"Arrests of immigrant parents create mental health crisis for children","excerpt":"Los Angeles — Damian Zermeño, 15, sensed something was wrong the moment he got home from school.His aunt sat at the dining table, sobbing.

His father, who'd walked him to the bus stop that morning and promised to take him to dinner when he got back, wasn't there.Saúl Zermeño, a 45-year-old single dad, had gone to a routine check-in appointment at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office that morning, a requirement he'd complied with for years. The father had deferred action that allowed him to stay and work in the U.S., according to his attorney. But that day, Oct. 3, officers deported him to Mexico, where he hadn't lived since he was 9 years old. Zermeño had been Damian's sole caregiver since he was a baby because his mother chose not to be involved in the boy's life, the family said.Suddenly, Damian, who was born in the U.S., found himself separated from his father by thousands of miles and a heavily guarded border. The previously cheerful 10th grader, who doesn't have a driver's license and can make a few basic dishes but isn't used to cooking for himself, faced navigating his teenage years alone, his dad's presence reduced to a two-dimensional image on his phone.\"I thought it wasn't true,\" Damian said. \"I just went to my room. I didn't want to leave. I didn't even want to eat.\"Damian Zermeño talks to his father over video chat. Saúl Zermeño, a single parent, was deported to Mexico in October after living 36 years in the United States. Karla Gachet for KFF Health News Damian is among an estimated hundreds of thousands of children, most of them U.S. citizens, separated from a parent by the Trump administration's deportation policies. Their mothers and fathers have been deported or locked for months inside detention centers, often miles away from where their families live. These children are separated, sometimes violently, from the adults they depend on. Parents have been arrested while dropping kids off at school, inside their homes, and at immigration check-ins with their children present. Most people detained have no criminal conviction. (Being in the U.S. without authorization is typically a civil offense). With their parents gone, kids' lives are plunged into fear and uncertainty.As a result, a generation of children from immigrant families are exhibiting mental health problems that could affect them for years.Parents, therapists, and others who work with immigrant families said they've already encountered preschoolers with speech delays, elementary school children who talk of suicide, and teenagers too anxious to leave the house. Research has shown repeatedly that separating children from their parents harms their health and development. The stress of losing a primary caregiver creates havoc in a child's brain and body, increasing their risk for mental and physical health problems, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, a weakened immune system, and developmental delays.\"You can just see it in their faces; it's almost like the light has been dimmed in their eyes,\" said the Rev. Tanya Lopez, a pastor at Downey Memorial Christian Church who regularly visits immigrant families as part of a support organization made up of Los Angeles-area religious leaders.The health risks from this stress response are long-term. People who experience parental separation and other traumatic events as children are more likely to have heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other chronic conditions as adults.In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said ICE does not separate families, and that parents are asked if they want to be removed from the country with their children or to designate a safe person for them to stay with in the U.S.However, a report by the Women's Refugee Commission and Physicians for Human Rights found that many parents aren't given that choice, and that ICE often doesn't ask detainees if they have children or take steps to ensure that children left behind are safe. Saúl Zermeño said ICE officers didn't ask about his son or check on Damian's well-being when he was deported.For days after his father's deportation, Damian didn't want to leave his room, eat, or go to school. He stopped talking to his friends. He stopped playing his favorite video game, Fears To Fathom. When he returned to school a week later, the teenager would cry in class or walk out overwhelmed with sadness. Even his favorite subject — English — lost its appeal.Damian and his father were inseparable; family members joked that they never saw one without the other. Zermeño took Damian, who has attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism, and other health conditions, to his medical appointments. He cooked for him and combed his hair. He loved to take Damian to his favorite Thai restaurant or to get boba drinks after school. As much as they joked around and played pranks on each other, Zermeño also taught Damian the importance of work by bringing him along to construction jobs and to find supplies at Home Depot.Damian used to get annoyed with his father's motivational chats about responsibility. Now they're one of the things he misses most.\"I thank my dad every day for teaching me to be strong before he left,\" Damian said.Elsewhere in Los Angeles, Jacob, a shy 9-year-old with cropped, curly hair, skinny limbs, and a serious expression, was missing his mom. On a Saturday in May, he clung tightly to his father's hand as they walked among homeless people, street peddlers, and the stench of urine that hangs in the air outside the building where they live in a cramped apartment. He hoped his mom would soon be released from immigration detention so that he could hug her again.\"If my mom was here, I'd be happy,\" he said. \"Right now, I'm not.\"Jacob is in some ways a typical 9-year-old. He likes playing Roblox and Street Fighter. He dreams of becoming a police officer and of owning a guard dog, \"because you can train them and they defend you.\"But he also endured a harrowing journey, even before being separated from his mom in January. Jacob's family fled their home country of Colombia in 2024 because members of a paramilitary group threatened to kill them, his father, Andreis, said. During their journey to the United States, Jacob saw dead bodies while trekking through the jungle, was kidnapped and robbed at gunpoint with his parents, witnessed a rape, and had to sell candy and beg for money, his dad said. KFF Health News is not using the father's or son's real name because the family fears it would jeopardize their asylum cases.After the family arrived in Los Angeles, Jacob suffered from nightmares and an intense fear of being alone. He started to recover once he began attending school and got connected to therapy through the school district, his dad said. For a short while, the family felt they had found peace.Then, immigration officers detained Jacob's mother at a check-in appointment while he and Andreis sat in the waiting room. The mother has a pending asylum application and no criminal record, Andreis said. The father said he and his son broke down when officers informed them of his wife's detention, handing them a bag with her wallet and cellphone. They returned home without her, leaving Jacob inconsolable.\"He was terrified,\" the father said, fighting back tears, his voice growing quiet as he recounted that moment. \"He was crying with rage.\"After that, Jacob didn't want to eat or go to school. When he went to school at his dad's insistence, his teacher called home to ask why he was crying in class. Jacob couldn't sleep. He acted out. He blamed his dad.\"When will my mom come back?\" he asked his dad. \"Why do they have my mom? I miss my mom.\"At the same time, Andreis said, he was going through his own crisis, trying in vain to console his son while wrestling with grief, worry, and desperation over what happened to his wife. He stopped his work as a laborer for two weeks to take care of Jacob, but that created financial stress and meant he sometimes couldn't afford to fund his wife's commissary account so she could buy better food and make phone calls. Jacob lived for those phone calls.Jacob listed all the things he missed about his mom, including her cooking (rice with meat, corn cakes with egg), visiting the park together, and her taking him to get his hair cut, treating him to McDonald's on the weekend, and bringing him to church. Most of all, he missed being close to her.\"I would lie down with her, and I'd watch videos with her,\" he said. \"My mom would hug me and I'd hug her.\"Sometimes he sprayed her perfume on himself so he could smell her.After almost five months at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center, Jacob's mother was released based on a habeas corpus petition in May. The family is still living in fear of detention or deportation. The father worries he too could be detained, and what that would mean for Jacob. Andreis is currently appealing a removal order for the two of them.A recent analysis published by the Brookings Institution estimates that over 200,000 children — including 145,000 U.S. citizen children — have likely had at least one parent detained since President Trump returned to office. About a third of those children are under age 6. The number of children with detained parents is expected to grow as the federal government pours over $200 billion into immigration enforcement, including funding from the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill Act and a $70 billion appropriation Trump signed this month.More than 4.6 million U.S. citizen children live with a parent at risk of deportation, according to the report.Families brokenNoemi, a Guatemalan mother and asylum seeker, stood in the parking lot at an ICE office north of Los Angeles, her three children wailing and clinging to her, glass from the family's car scattered at their feet.Moments earlier, immigration agents had smashed a window and forced her partner out of the car while he waited for Noemi and the kids to finish a check-in appointment. While they were inside, officers tried to separate Noemi from the couple's children, ages 9, 7, and 1, but gave up after the kids started screaming, Noemi said. Meanwhile, her partner, a Mexican national who's lived in the U.S. for almost 20 years, was sent to the ICE detention center in Adelanto.\"It was something tragic, something inexplicable that happened that day,\" said Noemi, who asked to withhold her full name because she fears government retaliation for sharing her story. \"It's something that marks you for your whole life. My family was broken.\"Located in the Mojave Desert, the privately run Adelanto ICE Processing Center is the immigration detention center closest to Los Angeles and one of the largest in the U.S. It held a daily average of over 1,700 people as of April, and a facility next door called the Desert View Annex held an additional 426.Since her partner's detention in December, Noemi said, their children haven't been the same.Her 7-year-old daughter, till then usually happy and smiling, became depressed and refused to eat. Her once-high grades plummeted, and she forgot the names of letters and numbers in both English and Spanish. She and her 9-year-old brother struggled to sleep and asked constantly about their dad, wondering if he was taken because they'd done something wrong.\"Why is this happening to us?\" they asked her. \"We're good. We're studying.\"Noemi's youngest daughter went back to crawling for three months, even though she'd already learned to walk before her father was taken. The little girl would cry out in her sleep, \"Pa! Pa!\"Sofia Mendoza, a therapist who works with immigrant families at a community clinic in Los Angeles County, said separated children can experience a form of grief. It's hard for them to come to terms with their parent's absence because the parent is still alive, but not with them. This can disrupt the child's bond with that parent and their ability to form trusting relationships in the future, she said.Many children also become extremely anxious, angry, and fearful, Mendoza said. Young children often complain of physical symptoms such as stomachaches, develop separation anxiety, and regress to earlier behaviors like bed-wetting. Older children may have panic attacks, nightmares, and difficulty focusing, Mendoza said. Caregiver loss is also associated with increased risk of suicide and substance use in children.Norma Gómez, a project manager for the Mixteco Indigena Community Organizing Project in Oxnard, said after immigration raids shook the community last summer, her 9-year-old daughter refused to go to school for a week and was afraid to leave her mom and dad, even though they're legal U.S. residents. She'd seen other kids at school crying because family members had been detained. Gómez showed her daughter their U.S. residency documents to reassure her. The child asked to make copies for her classmates, hoping they would protect them too.\"Time to be an adult\"Back in East Los Angeles, Damian is living with one of his aunts and struggling to adapt to not having his father around. He said his grades have dropped because he can't focus in school. He no longer wants to do things he used to enjoy with his dad, such as going out to eat.\"Fun is over,\" he said. \"It's time to be an adult right now.\"Damian Zermeño helps his aunts make lunch at his home in East Los Angeles. Since his father was deported, Damian says, he's learned to be more independent, but he still misses his dad and often feels sad, worried, or angry. Karla Gachet for KFF Health News Being without his father has forced Damian to become more independent, he and his aunt Claudia Zermeño said. Before, his dad did almost everything for him. Now, Damian does his own laundry, helps with housework, and styles his own hair. He's protective of his aunts, who are both devastated by their brother's absence; he hugs them frequently and tells jokes to try to cheer them up. He doesn't want to upset them more by showing his own sadness.Damian receives therapy both in and outside of school. He said he's learned breathing exercises that have helped, but he still feels sad and worried a lot of the time. Sometimes he feels angry.\"I try my hardest to think, to stay focused,\" he said. \"But with everything that's going on, I can't keep the facade of 'everything's normal' when I feel heartbroken.\"Saúl Zermeño, now living in Guadalajara, said he's worried about his son's health. Damian has a genetic condition called neurofibromatosis Type 1, which causes tumors to grow on nerve tissue in his body, including one in his head that, if not checked regularly by a doctor and monitored by his family, could interfere with his brain. He also suffers from epilepsy and was born with only one kidney, which means he tires easily and doesn't play sports. Saúl is afraid his son won't get the care he needs without him there. As Damian's legal guardian, Claudia Zermeño is doing everything she can for him, but she has two children of her own and is also caring for her mother, who has neurological problems from a stroke.Damian talks with his dad as often as he can. He hopes to visit his father in Mexico, but he doesn't have a passport and, as a minor under 16, there are more requirements to get one without his dad present. Saúl is working with an attorney to get permission to legally return to the U.S., but the process is complicated and uncertain.So, for now, Damian's hanging on to hope that his dad will be allowed to return and is trying to become the man he believes he should be. He's making plans to get his driver's license when he turns 16 this month. He's given up his goal of going to college and instead wants to get a job right after high school to help his aunts and send money to his dad.He still cries, but only when he's alone in his room.KFF Health News is a national newsroom that produces in-depth journalism about health issues and is one of the core operating programs at KFF — the independent source for health policy research, polling, and journalism.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/arrests-immigrant-parents-mental-health-crisis-children/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-18T09:00:19.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2Fcab8b7b7-9c44-4452-b47b-a07355e29fd9%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fa1b2dc0add6bddca64c59fdb0213e26b%2Fgrowing-up-scared-mental-health-02.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"arrests-of-immigrant-parents-create-mental-health-crisis-for-children"},{"id":"3a0mj","archiveId":"ni93di","title":"Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady but leaves door open to hike","excerpt":"The Federal Reserve on Wednesday left its benchmark interest rate unchanged amid resurgent inflation, but nearly half of its policymakers said they would support a rate hike later this year.The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kept the federal funds rate, which affects borrowing costs for consum","content":"The Federal Reserve on Wednesday left its benchmark interest rate unchanged amid resurgent inflation, but nearly half of its policymakers said they would support a rate hike later this year.The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kept the federal funds rate, which affects borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, in its current range of 3.5% to 3.75%. Economists had widely expected the central bank to keep rates steady. The so-called easing bias — a sentence in recent FOMC policy statements signaling the central bank was leaning toward cutting interest rates — was removed from the June guidance, which was significantly slimmer than the typical statement. \"You might have already noticed something, a difference in today's policy statement,\" Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh said in a press conference to discuss the Fed's latest interest rate decision. \"It's a bit shorter, a bit simpler and it dispenses with some older language. That statement just gives you the facts as best we can judge it.\"The Fed also released its Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) on Wednesday, which shows that nearly half of FOMC members said they could support a rate hike later this year. The vote to keep rates steady was unanimous, with all FOMC voting members in favor of maintaining the current range.\"Inflation remains elevated relative to the Committee's 2% goal, in part reflecting supply shocks that have driven price increases in certain sectors, including energy,\" the FOMC said in Wednesday's statement. Stocks fell on Wednesday after the Fed opened the door to possible rate hikes this year, surprising investors who had largely expected the central bank to stay on hold. The S&P 500 fell 70 points, or 0.9%, to 7,441 in afternoon trading, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.7% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index sank 1%. \"With nine FOMC members projecting rate hikes within the next year and significant changes made to the policy statement, the meeting represented a significant shift in Fed messaging,\" Indeed Hiring Lab economist Felix Aidala said in a report.Hawkish shiftThis week's Fed meeting is the first presided over by Warsh, Mr. Trump's pick to succeed former chair Jerome Powell. During the press conference announcing the FOMC's decision, Warsh highlighted what economists expect to be a major shift in the Fed's communication practices, including more circumspect policy statements and less forward guidance. He also said the central bank is creating five task forces to review how it handles or assesses issues ranging from communications to inflation data.Warsh pledged to drive inflation down to the Fed's 2% annual target, something the U.S. economy hasn't seen in more than five years.\"If I saw somebody in the grocery store, what I would say to them is that we cannot have a very significant effect on particular prices, the price of oil in the markets today, or even the price of a dozen eggs,\" Warsh said. \"But it's to make sure that those changes in oil or beef or eggs or milk don't broaden in the economy, don't have second and third effects.\"He added, \"We're going to deliver on it.\"\"Today's meeting confirms that the Fed's recent hawkish shift was not just about higher energy prices,\" Kay Haigh, global head and CIO of Fixed Income and Liquidity Solutions at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, said in an email. \"Despite the recent pullback in oil, half of the members of the FOMC expect rate hikes as soon as this year, reflecting strong labor market and inflation data.\"Mr. Trump had repeatedly pressed Powell, whose term as Fed chief ended in May, to lower interest rates. But with U.S. inflation at its highest level in more than three years and well above the Fed's 2% annual target, Fed officials are telegraphing that higher borrowing costs may be in store. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday at the Group of Seven Summit in France, Mr. Trump suggested that lower interest rates would boost the economy, while also expressing support for Warsh. \"It's hard to believe. It just keeps the country down, and it's so unusual,\" he said. \"But we have a very good guy over there right now, so I'm guided by what he wants.\"Warsh noted that the FOMC's economic projections show the federal funds rate will sit at 3.8% at the end of 2026 and 3.6% at the end of 2027. The current effective rate stands at about 3.6%. The Fed's new inflation forecastAnother major change in the Fed's economic projections is a sharp increase in inflation expectations for 2026. The central bank's previous forecast, issued in March, forecast that the Personal Consumption Expenditures index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, would end the year at an annual rate of 2.7%. But in today's forecast, the FOMC members are penciling in inflation rising to an annualized 3.6% by year-end. Excluding volatile energy and gas prices, inflation could hit 3.3%.\"The median official now expects headline and core inflation well above 3% by the end of this year, and core inflation to reach 2.5% by end-2027,\" Oxford Economics said in a note to investors. Warsh came across as \"confident and calm\" in his first press conference, said Heather Long, chief economist at the Navy Federal Credit Union, in an email.\"He convinced the world that he's serious about taming inflation,\" she said. \"There is now a firm expectation of 1 rate hike by the end of 2026 and a growing belief there could be two hikes.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/fed-meeting-fomc-today-kevin-warsh-interest-rates/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Aimee  Picchi","publishDate":"2026-06-17T21:38:18.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F05%2F22%2Fcd1acb7f-70c5-4105-be2d-c8927d547a7a%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F45e267d3ffb4139c9e95d5d5cdc8f28b%2Fcbsn-fusion-new-fed-chair-kevin-warsh-difficult-job-expert-thumbnail.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"federal-reserve-holds-interest-rates-steady-but-leaves-door-open-to-hike"},{"id":"i3d7mx","archiveId":"7vwgcd","title":"Firefighter hospitalized after suffering allergic reaction while fighting West Miami-Dade brushfires; blaze burns over 16K acres","excerpt":"A firefighter had to be airlifted to the hospital after suffering an allergic reaction amid the ongoing wildfires fight in West Miami-Dade.

According to the Florida Forest Service, the firefighter suffered an allergic reaction to a bug bite while fighting the fire around Mile Marker 33 on Thursday afternoon. The firefighter was rushed to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital. They are expected to be OK. The hospitalization came as fire crews with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, FFS and other agencies keep battling two active brush fires. Over 40 MDFR units have been deployed by air and ground to contain and extinguish the flames. According to the FFS, the Quarry 2 Fire has burned 15,900 acres and is 70% contained. That fire is located in the area of Northwest 137th Avenue and 41st Street. The Well Fire has burned 500 acres and is 25% contained, as of Thursday afternoon. That blaze is located in the area of Northwest 122nd Avenue and 58th Street. “The [Quarry 2] fire is about 70% contained and we’re putting out hotspots along Krome to make sure everything is tucked away, safe,” said Patrick Mahoney with the Florida Forest Service. The fire ignited on Sunday because of a lightning strike, officials said. “When you got lightning and it’s this dry, it’s going to make a run,” said Mahoney. From the moment it sparked, the dry conditions led to the blaze quickly growing and burning miles of brush. On Wednesday, 200 residents around the area of Mack’s Fish Camp were evacuated out of an abundance of caution. But resident Marshall Jones told 7News he stayed behind to ride out the fire and help protect his homestead. “Holy cow! It was the most massive raging inferno you could ever imagine,” said Jones. As the fire grew, Krome Avenue from Okeechobee Road and Southwest Eighth Street remains closed amid the fire fight. On Wednesday night, Mother Nature gave fire crews a lending hand by bringing a rainstorm to the area. “It was dire straits for quite some time, all hands on deck and then the good Lord gave us rain. The properties are in tact,” said Jones. Officials said on Thursday, the current wind pattern is pushing the smoke away from residential areas and are hoping for more rain to help them tackle the blaze. “We need a week-long, multi-day rain event to really get us out of this,” said Mahoney. Forecasters said the wind pattern is expected to shift on Friday, bringing smoke toward residential areas in Broward and Miami-Dade. That smoke will linger on Saturday as variable winds will keep the smoke over populated areas through the afternoon. Residents are urged to remain indoors and limit outdoor activity if wind conditions change and smoke is present in the area, especially for people with respiratory conditions.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/firefighter-hospitalized-after-suffering-allergic-reaction-while-fighting-west-miami-dade-brushfires-blaze-burns-over-16k-acres/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Sebastian Cuervo","publishDate":"2026-06-18T19:24:52.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061826-Fire-fight-continues-in-west-miami-dade-for-fourth-day.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"firefighter-hospitalized-after-suffering-allergic-reaction-while-fighting-west-miami-dade-brushfires"},{"id":"ng0vfh","archiveId":"dohfzf","title":"Cuba’s Communist Party approves emergency economic plan opening to private enterprise","excerpt":"HAVANA (AP) — Cuba’s powerful Communist Party on Thursday approved an emergency economic package featuring unprecedented free-market measures aimed at opening up the struggling island’s economy as pressure from the U.S. and the European Union heightens.

The document, which has not yet been made public, will be submitted Thursday to Cuba’s National Assembly. It envisions expanding opportunities for private enterprise, greater autonomy for municipalities and state-owned companies and measures to attract additional foreign investment, including from Cubans abroad. In recent days, residents in several Havana neighborhoods staged protests, banging pots and pans as power outages spread across the island. “Cuba resists heroically and creatively, but has endured for too long a barbaric, undeserved and unbearable punishment, to which is now added the threat of military aggression,” President Miguel Díaz-Canel said late Wednesday in the closing speech of the Communist Party session. The speech was published Thursday. The announcement comes after months of increasing pressure from the U.S. and high-level talks between the two countries that have included Raúl Castro’s grandson, Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro. The U.S. has levied numerous sanctions against Cuba and has indicted Raúl Castro in connection with the 1996 downing of two civilian planes operated by Miami exiles. U.S. Vice President JD Vance said at a White House press briefing that the administration is watching the island’s actions to determine how to respond. “We’re going to see what they do. And obviously, if they do one thing, we’re going to do something,” Vance said. “If they make smart decisions, we’re going to have a much better relationship with that island.” Pressure from the European Union also ratcheted up Thursday, with lawmakers passing a resolution condemning “the systematic repression” by the Cuban government and demanding “profound economic and political change.” The resolution also called for EU sanctions targeting Díaz-Canel and the leadership of Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A. (GAESA), a business conglomerate operated by the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces. Both have already been sanctioned by the U.S. Díaz-Canel said the emergency plan and the policy document prepared by the Communist Party’s Central Committee were shaped by the experiences of China and Vietnam, two communist countries that have introduced market-oriented economic reforms while maintaining one-party rule. The document will be submitted to the National Assembly for debate during a special session that, like the recent party meeting, was convened without prior public notice.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/cubas-communist-party-approves-emergency-economic-plan-opening-to-private-enterprise/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Kevin Boulandier","publishDate":"2026-06-18T19:10:10.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F01%2F010526-Cuba-President-Miguel-Diaz-Canel.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"cubas-communist-party-approves-emergency-economic-plan-opening-to-private-enterprise"},{"id":"hbdh13","archiveId":"hoxl60","title":"Obama Center’s opening draws former presidents, music legends and A-list celebrities","excerpt":"Former President Barack Obama, joined by three former presidents, celebrated the opening of his presidential museum in Chicago in an extraordinary event Thursday that brought together politicians, A-list celebrities, athletes and other internationally known figures.

Bono, John Legend, Christina Aguilera, Marc Anthony and Eddie Vedder took turns on the stage ahead of Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder. “I hope this center will serve as an affirmation of just how special, how precious our democracy truly is and remind us what we can achieve when we embrace our shared responsibilities as citizens,” Obama told the crowd. President Donald Trump was conspicuous both in his physical absence and by not being mentioned by any of the speakers or performers. Trump called the $850 million center a “total disaster” in a social media post in February. Obama voiced his support for character, honesty, integrity, kindness, compassion and sense of duty, praising both Democrats and Republicans, including those he defeated. “Every president here today, as different as we are, has tried our best to uphold values that John McCain and Mitt Romney believed in no less than I did,” Obama said. “It is our greatest inheritance.” Reflecting on his arrival in Chicago in 1985 as an untested political organizer, Obama said he could not have built the center anywhere else. He met his future wife Michelle nearby, their wedding reception was within walking distance, his children were born in the neighborhood and he launched his first candidacy not far away. “It’s an expression of thanks, an acknowledgment that so much of what I hold most dear I owe to the people of this city and the people of the surrounding neighborhoods,” Obama said. Michelle had some emotional words for her husband Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters shared the stage with former presidents Joe Biden, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton along with former first ladies Jill Biden, Laura Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Former Vice President Kamala Harris was also in attendance. Michelle Obama spoke directly to her husband when she stepped up to the podium. “Eight years in the crucible and not once did you melt in the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. “Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence,” she said. “Your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage. Your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency. Your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber. And to do it all as a first.” She ticked off highlights from her husband’s eight years in office, including ordering the raid that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden, “standing up for marriage equality” and “listening to science.” “And you did it all with such grace and class and cool,” she said. “You made the hardest job in the world look like a walk in this beautiful park.” Obama appeared to wipe away a tear as she praised him. Michelle Obama also referenced the current “anxious and divisive times” and warned against being cynical or complacent as “everything feels so upside down.” She pitched the center as “a respite from all that.” A-list entertainers sang inspirational anthems and protest songs Jennifer Hudson sang the national anthem and Aguilera delivered a rousing rendition of “What a Wonderful World.” Pearl Jam’s Vedder, joined by Chicago teenagers in the nonprofit Guitars Over Guns program, sang an original song called “Better Believe,” written just for the dedication. Legend sang “Someday We’ll All Be Free” and was joined by the rapper Common and Uniting Voices Chicago for their Academy Award-winning song “Glory.” Bono, who said he was there representing the Irish, joined with The Edge in singing the U2 song “City of Blinding Lights.” The Roots served as the house band. And Springsteen sang “Land of Hopes and Dreams” before turning to the Obamas and saying “I love you.” Wonder sang “All I Do” and “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)” as the Obamas smiled, danced in their seats and sang along. The invite-only celebration was livestreamed and kicks off a weekend of events centered around the Obama Presidential Center, which opens to the general public on Juneteenth. Thousands more watched from a nearby park. Those at the event included several potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates; civil rights leaders Andrew Young and Al Sharpton; Oprah Winfrey; comedians David Letterman, Conan O’Brien and Stephen Colbert; actor Tom Hanks; tennis legend Billie Jean King and Chicago Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts. Former world leaders in attendance included former Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “This is not a monument to the Obamas,” said Valerie Jarrett, the Obama Foundation’s chief executive and former Obama top adviser. “This is a tribute to all those who made this journey possible.” The opening, like the ribbon-cuttings of other presidential libraries over the years, had a heavy focus on accomplishments. This former president also expressed some regrets — such as the increase in political polarization during his two terms. “It’s one of the few regrets of my presidency — that the rancor and suspicion between the parties has gotten worse instead of better,” Obama said in his final State of the Union. “Some of the exhibits reflect unfinished business,” Obama said Thursday. “In some cases, my own shortcomings and mistakes.” General admission tickets for the center are sold out through the end of October. More than a million visitors a year are expected at the nearly 20-acre campus.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/politics/obama-centers-opening-draws-former-presidents-music-legends-and-a-list-celebrities/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Kevin Boulandier","publishDate":"2026-06-18T19:05:33.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061826-Obama-center-performances.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"obama-centers-opening-draws-former-presidents-music-legends-and-a-list-celebrities"},{"id":"p9ai2e","archiveId":"npllyi","title":"Arthur, this year's first named Atlantic storm, still poses threats of severe flash flooding in Southeast","excerpt":"Arthur, a short-lived tropical storm and the first of this year's Atlantic hurricane season, lost some punch Wednesday after making landfall along the Gulf Coast of Texas.

But it still has the potential to cause life-threatening flash flooding from Texas to Florida through the end of the week, the National Weather Service said, despite being downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone.The system formed in the western Gulf of Mexico and reached tropical storm status on Wednesday morning near the middle of the Texas coast, less than 50 miles from Port O'Connor, according to the hurricane center. By late Wednesday night, Arthur's maximum sustained wind speed had fallen to 35 mph, below the 39 mph threshold for classification as a named tropical storm.Water surrounds homes in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Arthur in rural Brazoria County, Texas, Wednesday, June 17, 2026. Brett Coomer/Houston Chronicle via AP Arthur's remnants are expected to move farther inland over southeastern Texas and western Louisiana, \"then cross the southeastern United States Thursday through Friday.\" \"While additional weakening is expected as the system moves inland, the remnants of Arthur will continue to produce widespread heavy rains across the southeastern United States during the next few days,\" the hurricane center said, with \"life-threatening flooding\" expected to continue in parts of the region. Arthur started developing earlier this week as a tropical disturbance in the western Gulf of Mexico. It emerged and strengthened as coastal communities in the path of the storm contended with ongoing bouts of intense rain that triggered dangerous flash flooding in multiple states.Arthur will likely dump 5 to 10 inches of rain on sections of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, along with western portions of the Florida Panhandle through early Friday, the hurricane center said, adding, \"This could generate dangerous to life-threatening flash flooding.\"The storm was also expected to produce \"life-threatening surf and rip current conditions along the northwestern Gulf Coast for the next day or two,\" the center said. Some tornadoes are possible, as well.Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, although tropical storm and hurricane activity usually peaks between August and October. Forecasters predicted this season will bring fewer storms than an average year, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's latest outlook calling for eight to 14 named storms, of which three to five might grow into hurricanes.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/tropical-storm-arthur-first-hurricane-season-texas-gulf-coast/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Emily Mae  Czachor","publishDate":"2026-06-18T12:48:01.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2Fe9bf6cc1-9618-48a4-ac3b-af57c57e606c%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fba680284cecd1b483a86740cc49f337e%2Fap26168614413054.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"arthur-this-years-first-named-atlantic-storm-still-poses-threats-of-severe-flash-flooding-in-southea"},{"id":"oo8j1n","archiveId":"ieniz6","title":"Fort Lauderdale tiki hut, home catch fire displacing 4 people, 3 dogs","excerpt":"An investigation is underway in Fort Lauderdale after officials said that a tiki hut and home caught fire early Thursday morning.According to Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue, 911 callers reported a blaze along the 1800 block of Southwest 23rd Avenue just before 5:20 a.m.The first fire units arrived at t","content":"An investigation is underway in Fort Lauderdale after officials said that a tiki hut and home caught fire early Thursday morning.According to Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue, 911 callers reported a blaze along the 1800 block of Southwest 23rd Avenue just before 5:20 a.m.The first fire units arrived at the scene minutes later and found that a tiki hut had caught fire behind a rental property as well as a nearby home.Fire officials said that four people were able to safely evacuate the home, as well as their three dogs.No injuries were reported.Fire officials said that a fire investigator was headed to the scene to determine the cause of the fire.

Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance announced that he may postpone a trip to Switzerland that had been planned for Friday and included a ceremonial signing of the deal. The visit might have helped start talks on the next, potentially even more critical, round of negotiations between the two sides. Hours later, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei endorsed direct negotiations with the U.S. in a statement read by state media. It was Khamenei’s first reaction to the agreement. “It is obvious that the face-to-face negotiations that will be held in the future will not mean accepting the enemy’s opinion,” he said. The supreme leader has not been seen in public since he was wounded in a strike at the start of the war. Uncertain timeline could make it more difficult to promote deal Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also postponed a planned visit to Switzerland, where Islamabad officials were to host the ceremony, because the agreement had already been signed, said two senior officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. The now uncertain timeline could raise new questions and make it even more difficult for the Trump administration to promote a deal that many in the U.S. — including some congressional Republicans — have criticized as too favorable to Tehran. “Our plan is to go to Switzerland. I don’t know exactly when,” Vance said during a briefing with reporters at the White House when asked about not flying, as planned, to the signing ceremony. “I suspect this weekend, but I’m not sure,” he added. That injected new doubt into an agreement that President Donald Trump said he signed to avoid “economic catastrophe” in the U.S. Vance’s announcement came a day after Trump signed the pact with Iran while dining with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles. The deal is slated to take immediate effect and extends a ceasefire while giving each side 60 days to hammer out broader agreements on larger issues. Trump said the deal would avoid continued stress on the U.S. economy after the war caused oil prices to skyrocket, made financial markets skittish and fueled inflation. He repeatedly said he did not want to be compared to Herbert Hoover, whose policies helped exacerbate the Great Depression of the 1930s. Vance defends U.S.-Iran deal The vice president, who was initially personally skeptical of the U.S. going to war with Iran, has increasingly become the administration’s face of the conflict and has been outspoken in defending the deal. Asked about concerns it concedes too much, the vice president said repeatedly that the accord would force Iran to “change their behavior.” Shortly before Vance said his trip was being delayed, Pakistan said it was postponing a visit by its top officials to Switzerland’s resort near Lucerne, where Islamabad was to host the signing ceremony. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and top officials had been set to make the trip, but officials said that a ceremonial signing became less urgent after both sides had already signed. Vance defended the agreement and shrugged off accusations that its rollout has been piecemeal and sometimes contradictory, saying, “I don’t think our public messaging has been chaotic.” He also offered a surprisingly blunt warning to Israel, which has pushed the U.S. to take a harder stance against Iran and launched attacks on the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia in Lebanon throughout the war, including just before the deal extending the ceasefire was reached. Those attacks complicated the peace efforts with Iran. Trump “is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time,” Vance said. “And he happens to be the head of state of the world’s superpower.” The vice president said more than 12.5 million barrels went through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday night. That could further soothe oil prices that spiked during the war but have been falling since the U.S. and Iran announced a tentative deal to end the conflict. He said the U.S. easing its blockade of Iran means “honoring our end of the early part of the agreement on the military side.” U.S. Central Command said American warships “will remain in the general area to make sure that all aspects of the agreement are adhered to, obeyed and in full force and effect.” Shipping starts to pick up At least two oil tankers left Iran and crossed the U.S. military blockade without being stopped. A merchant shipping tracking website said the ships were carrying a combined total of 3.8 million barrels of Iranian crude oil. Iranian state media said shipping had “normalized” at Iran’s southern ports but added that the strait remains supervised and under the control of the Iranian military, and transiting through the vital waterway still requires coordination. Major shipowners began moving vessels through the strait after the agreement was signed, according to maritime data company Lloyd’s List Intelligence, though Lloyd’s did not give data on how many ships have passed through the strait as of Thursday. In a media briefing, Richard Meade, editor-in-chief of Lloyd’s List, said for the first time in 110 days, ships owned by major companies are transiting the strait after effectively being marooned there since February. Tankers controlled by major ship owners Grimaldi Group, Cosco, Knutsen and NYK have passed through the strait. And two Iranian-flagged, sanctioned crude oil tankers owned by the National Iranian Tanker Company have entered the strait, according to Lloyd’s List. Phillip Belcher, marine director of Intertanko, a trade group for global independent tanker owners, said the main central route of the strait is still closed and has an estimated 80 mines that need to be cleared. But ships have been passing through the smaller northern route, which goes through Iranian waters, and the southern route, which goes through Omani waters. Agreement calls for a lasting end to hostilities The U.S.-Iran deal calls for a permanent end to hostilities and starts a 60-day negotiating clock to reach a final deal on the future of Iran’s nuclear program, though Trump has left the door open to resume attacks. The agreement appears to offer Iran several benefits up front while extracting little in return. It states that Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which is believed to be buried under rubble, must at minimum be diluted under international supervision. It also says that Iran shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons — a commitment it has made previously. But beyond stating that the U.S. and Iran will negotiate over Iran’s nuclear program, other commitments still need to be worked out. The deal also waives U.S.-backed sanctions on the country, immediately allowing Iran to sell its oil freely in a major concession from Washington. Still, Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, said Thursday that the 27-nation bloc would leave its sanctions on Iran in place for now. The bloc had slapped a series of separate sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, human rights violations and the closing of the strait. “Once the conditions allow, of course, member states will discuss whether the lifting of sanctions is in place, but we are not there yet,” Kallas said ahead of a summit of EU leaders in Brussels.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/u-s-lifts-blockade-of-iran-and-iranian-supreme-leader-endorses-direct-talks-with-american-officials/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Kevin Boulandier","publishDate":"2026-06-18T19:02:10.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061826-Vice-President-JD-Vance-at-the-White-House-podium.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"us-lifts-blockade-of-iran-and-iranian-supreme-leader-endorses-direct-talks-with-american-officials"},{"id":"mdn122","archiveId":"jptskf","title":"Hot and Humid Stretch for Foreseeable Future","excerpt":"It’s been a very hot and humid week as we count down the final days of spring, and no prolonged heat relief is in sight as we welcome summer on Sunday.

Cooling fronts have remained to our north — as is very typical for these warmer weather months — as dominant winds have been out of a general southerly direction. That’s been the case this week and will remain the case this weekend into next week. An area of high pressure distant over the Atlantic will remain in control on Friday but a new high will develop over the Gulf by the weekend. So while it will be breezy much of the day Friday — making the heat somewhat more bearable — winds will relax over the weekend due to this Gulf high, making the heat feel worse. Either way, highs from Friday into next week will continue to hover in the mid 90s and peak feels-like temperatures will consistently top off at around 105F — give-or-take a few degrees above or below. With that said, some rain relief will be possible, especially Friday into the weekend, but the highest rain chances look to be late in the day, setting the stage for hot temperatures much of the time. For our Friday, which is Juneteenth, expect hot sunshine to give way to cloudier skies late and scattered storms, especially away from the coast. Given the fact that the highest of rain chances will be inland, this will be good news as it could help contain or even put out the active fires in western Miami-Dade. What we don’t need are additional fires to spark from lightning. Also, with winds veering more out of the south Friday and then become light and rather variable over the weekend, times of smoky skies and reduced air quality will be a concern. Now back to our rain chances: over the weekend on both Saturday and Sunday, a round of scattered showers and storms will be possible. Therefore, for Father’s Day on Sunday, outdoor activities may need a back-up plan given potential storms. Lower rain chances then return next week. We still do need more rain given the big deficit this June, despite the fact that the drought monitor continues to show positive improvements. Tropical update The remnants of Arthur — currently bringing heavy rain across parts of the Southeast — has a low chance it redevelops once it moves off the US East Coast tomorrow or Saturday.","url":"https://wsvn.com/weather-blog/hot-and-humid-stretch-for-foreseeable-future/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Jackson Dill","publishDate":"2026-06-18T18:36:36.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F1_2f8a35.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"hot-and-humid-stretch-for-foreseeable-future"},{"id":"s8k6we","archiveId":"i68or0","title":"Plantation nursing school owner pleads guilty to selling nearly 3,000 fraudulent nursing diplomas","excerpt":"The owner of two South Florida nursing schools pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges after prosecutors say she sold nearly 3,000 fraudulent nursing diplomas and transcripts to people who never completed the required coursework or clinical training.

Carleen Noreus, 52, of Plantation, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to money laundering following a two-week trial in Fort Lauderdale. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida, Noreus served as president of Carleen Home Health School, Inc. in Plantation and vice president of Carleen Home Health School II, Inc. in West Palm Beach. Between April 2018 and October 2025, she was responsible for providing 2,956 fraudulent nursing diplomas through the two schools. The fraudulent documents falsely represented that purchasers had completed the academic and clinical requirements needed to earn Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse or Bachelor of Science in Nursing credentials. Of those who obtained fraudulent credentials, approximately 2,274 went on to pass national nursing board examinations and obtain licenses to work as nurses in Florida and across the country. State authorities have since shut down both schools. “Nursing licenses must be earned through education, training, and demonstrated competence, not purchased through fraud,” U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones for the Southern District of Florida said in a statement. “By selling thousands of fraudulent diplomas and transcripts, the defendant undermined the integrity of the nursing profession and our healthcare system.” The case is part of the second phase of Operation Nightingale, a nationwide investigation targeting fraudulent nursing diploma schemes run by for-profit schools in South Florida. The current phase has resulted in charges against 13 defendants, including Noreus. In Phase I, 30 defendants were charged and convicted in 2023. Sentencing will be determined by a federal district court judge. She faces up to 20 years in prison on each count.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/broward/plantation-nursing-school-owner-pleads-guilty-to-selling-nearly-3000-fraudulent-nursing-diplomas/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Patrick Chalvire","publishDate":"2026-06-18T18:18:09.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2023%2F03%2Fpexels-ekaterina-bolovtsova-6077326.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"plantation-nursing-school-owner-pleads-guilty-to-selling-nearly-3000-fraudulent-nursing-diplomas"},{"id":"bfcr8i","archiveId":"tmeojp","title":"Jury awaits instructions as George Pino trial enters 9th day","excerpt":"MIAMI (WSVN) — The criminal trial of prominent real estate developer George Pino has now entered its ninth day.

Closing arguments could potentially take place Thursday afternoon, and jury instructions are set to be handed down near 1:30 p.m. Pino’s defense rested its case on Wednesday as state prosecutors once again questioned Lucy Fernandez’s father, Andy, as a rebuttal witness. “Did you have any plans to go out to the sandbar on Sunday, Sept. 4, 2022?” said prosecutor Laura Adams. “No,” said Andy. “But you did?” said Adams. “But I did,” said Andy. “And why did you go?” said Adams. “Because Lucy asked me to go,” said Andy. Defense attorneys also got their chance to cross-examine Andy. “Did you send a text to Mr. Pino that said, ‘Billy’s on Sunday?’” said an attorney. “Correct,” said Andy. Seventeen-year-old Lucy Fernandez did not survive the deadly 2022 boating crash when Pino crashed into a channel marker near Boca Chita Key. That crash also left Kathy Puig with permanent injuries. Puig’s father, Rudy, testified about how the tragedy changed her life forever. “Is your daughter in the same condition now than she was when she went to Ocean Reef Club?” asked Adams. “No, she’s not,” said Rudy. “She was an incredible athlete.” Pino ultimately decided to not take the stand to testify in his own defense when given the chance, but another survivor of the 2022 boating crash took the stand for a second time. After reviewing body camera video from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the survivor testified she saw Pino immediately after the crash. Pino’s defense team continued to argue the crash was a tragic accident, claiming high tide obstructed his view of the channel marker. Multiple witnesses testified that Pino was not impaired at the time of the crash. Dr. Diana Barratt, a neurologist called by the defense, testified that Pino suffered from amnesia, which could have caused him to make false statements after the crash. However, prosecutors pushed back against that narrative.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/jury-awaits-instructions-as-george-pino-trial-enters-9th-day/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Sebastian Cuervo","publishDate":"2026-06-18T17:52:32.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061826-Jury-awaits-instruction-as-George-Pino-trial-enters-9th-day.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"jury-awaits-instructions-as-george-pino-trial-enters-9th-day"},{"id":"bz8eve","archiveId":"7x594o","title":"Dangerous, possibly record-breaking heat leads to NEXT Weather Alert day for all of South Florida","excerpt":"Extreme and dangerous heat is continuing to tighten its grip across South Florida, and that has led to the CBS News Miami NEXT Weather Alert team to issue a NEXT Weather Alert day on Thursday.","content":"Extreme and dangerous heat is continuing to tighten its grip across South Florida, and that has led to the CBS News Miami NEXT Weather Alert team to issue a NEXT Weather Alert day on Thursday.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/dangerous-possibly-record-breaking-heat-leads-to-next-weather-alert-day-for-all-of-south-florida/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-18T11:28:00.000Z","category":"sports","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2F2d27a4ef-b264-4f3d-8dae-f41f1c0a0237%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F7bde491e8d632097743a6792989b5acf%2Ffea23a172f6bb83b4930da12bb70c0a0.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dangerous-possibly-record-breaking-heat-leads-to-next-weather-alert-day-for-all-of-south-florida"},{"id":"4s685k","archiveId":"9vqblu","title":"Miami Beach officer critically injured in Wednesday night crash, officials say","excerpt":"A Miami Beach police officer was rushed to a local hospital on Wednesday night after she was injured in a crash, according to officials.","content":"A Miami Beach police officer was rushed to a local hospital on Wednesday night after she was injured in a crash, according to officials.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/miami-beach-officer-critically-injured-in-wednesday-night-crash-officials-say/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-18T11:23:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2F4636a839-19c3-49fa-b20c-9fea0244fb46%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F6d51f03461be15bc8eff7d830f073e20%2F7751fb32dfc338a8d314024bc7184e61.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"miami-beach-officer-critically-injured-in-wednesday-night-crash-officials-say"},{"id":"umaqx4","archiveId":"vu4bg8","title":"Bass Pro Shops rings up Cheeca Lodge resort in Florida Keys","excerpt":"Bass Pro Shops hooked Islamorada’s 27-acre Cheeca Lodge & Spa, adding the luxury fishing and sporting resort to its multi-billion-dollar portfolio.

(WSVN) — A Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputy is speaking out days after video of her singing to her native Uruguay’s national anthem during a World Cup game went viral on social media. The heartwarming moment of pride showed MDSO Deputy Silvia Nadal singing her heart out with fans and supporting the South American country where she was born. “You can take the Uruguayan out of Uruguay, but you cannot take Uruguay out of an Uruguayan,” she told 7News. The wholesome encounter played out Monday at Miami Stadium in Miami Gardens, known outside the FIFA World Cup as Hard Rock Stadium, during a match between Uruguay and Saudi Arabia. Nadal says she was working a security shift when the crowd began signing Uruguay’s national anthem. With a bright smile on her face, she decided to join in. “It just came out of me. I was singing it along, and I was happy; I mean, I’m always happy, but it was a very special moment. I had no idea I was being recorded,” she said. That recording of her singing would eventually be uploaded online, where it’s now exploding with millions of interactions. “I went to sleep, and I wake up, and I’m like, ‘Wow, these social media platforms rule the world,'” she said. At one point, a member of the Uruguayan Football Association even gifted Nadal a national team pin which, she said, she kissed and then proudly pinned to her uniform. “I was super emotional, I teared up when they were singing the national anthem, and then people just chanting and wearing their jerseys right in front of me, it was a lot,” she said. When asked about her newfound stardom, Nadal said she is just a regular person who comes from a proud futbol-loving family, and she’s just grateful to live out her childhood dreams of seeing her team play. “Every time I see my country play, it just moves something inside of me that is very hard to understand if you’re not born in South America,” she said. The video, which was originally posted to FIFA’s Instagram account, has already surpassed more than 10 million views and 260,000 likes as of Thursday afternoon. Those numbers are still climbing.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/uruguayan-mdso-deputy-seen-singing-anthem-at-world-cup-match-speaks-out-on-very-special-viral-moment/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Rubén Rosario","publishDate":"2026-06-18T16:49:30.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F260618_MDSO_Deputy_Silvia_Nadal_World_Cup_viral_video.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"uruguayan-mdso-deputy-seen-singing-anthem-at-world-cup-match-speaks-out-on-very-special-viral-moment"},{"id":"vz6v9t","archiveId":"vlnh5l","title":"World Cup, camps and other happenings at Pinecrest Gardens","excerpt":"Kick off the summer season at Pinecrest Gardens with engaging youth programs, beautiful gardens to explore, and our award-winning farmers’ market.

Abdoul Haseeb, 21, was charged with human trafficking of a minor, using a computer service to travel to meet a minor and unlawful use of computer services, according to an arrest affidavit. Investigators with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Human Trafficking Squad said the operation involved undercover deputies posting an online advertisement as part of an effort to identify individuals seeking to engage in illegal sexual activity involving minors. According to the affidavit, Haseeb contacted a phone number listed in the advertisement and began communicating with an undercover deputy posing as the mother of a juvenile girl. During the conversations, deputies said Haseeb agreed to pay $200 to meet with a person he believed was 15 years old. According to the affidavit, Haseeb later arrived at an undisclosed location in Miami-Dade County, where he completed the agreed-upon payment and was taken into custody by deputies. Haseeb was transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and is being held without bond pending a bond hearing, according to jail records.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/undercover-miami-dade-operation-leads-to-arrest-on-human-trafficking-child-exploitation-charges/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Allyson Castillo","publishDate":"2026-06-18T16:41:43.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2FAbdoul-Haseeb.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"undercover-miami-dade-operation-leads-to-arrest-on-human-trafficking-child-exploitation-charges"},{"id":"lt5xkj","archiveId":"wm6q45","title":"Panter, Panter & Sampedro Awards 2026 Scholarships to two Miami Palmetto Senior High School students","excerpt":"Panter, Panter & Sampedro (PPS) announced that it has awarded Ava Arosemena and Julian Garcia of Miami Palmetto Senior High School each with the 2026 scholarship.

The guestlist for Thursday’s dedication ceremony includes Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Christina Aguilera and Bono, along with former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama are expected to give remarks. The invite-only celebration will be livestreamed and kicks off a weekend of events centered around the Obama Presidential Center, which opens to the general public on Juneteenth. President Donald Trump is not among the announced guests. He called the $850 million center a “total disaster” in a social media post in February. The Thursday celebration “will reflect a spirit of inspiration and joy, with a big boost from the performers who are sharing their talent with us,” said Valerie Jarrett, the Obama Foundation’s chief executive and former Obama top adviser. “We hope to inspire people everywhere to believe in their power to bring change home.” Other celebrities slated to appear on Thursday include Common, Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Vedder, John Legend, Marc Anthony and The Roots. General admission tickets for the center are sold out through the end of October. But tens of thousands of people have already been offered a sneak peek of the nearly 20-acre campus on Chicago’s South Side in Jackson Park. The center, located near where Obama lived and began his political career, is expected to attract more than 1 million visitors annually. It is adjacent to the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry in the lakefront park, and not far from the University of Chicago. The campus includes a towering museum that covers the political and personal realms of the nation’s first Black president, while public spaces include a branch of the Chicago Public Library, a playground and athletic center, basketball courts and a picnic area with grills.","url":"https://wsvn.com/entertainment/springsteen-bono-and-stevie-wonder-will-help-the-obamas-open-their-presidential-museum/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Rubén Rosario","publishDate":"2026-06-18T13:08:58.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F260618_Obama_Presidential_Library.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"springsteen-bono-and-stevie-wonder-will-help-the-obamas-open-their-presidential-museum"},{"id":"4b5sg6","archiveId":"3er82a","title":"Though his vision is limited, his art knows no bounds","excerpt":"Miami Springs Senior High School senior Leonardo Rios sees the world a little differently, literally.

A Heat Advisory is in effect from Noon until 7pm for all of South Florida as heat index values climb between 105 and 110 degrees. High temperatures will reach the low to mid 90’s, but the combination of heat and humidity will make it feel significantly hotter. Anyone spending time outdoors should stay hydrated, take frequent breaks, and limit strenuous activity during the afternoon. Unlike the past couple of days, storm coverage today will be more limited. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop mainly across interior South Florida this afternoon and early evening as the Atlantic and Gulf sea breezes collide inland. A few storms could produce heavy downpours, gusty winds, and street flooding, but many coastal locations may stay dry. Another concern today is wildfire smoke from the Quarry 2 Fire, Well Fire, and other ongoing fires in Miami-Dade County. Winds will shift more Southeasterly, pushing smoke toward portions of inland Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. While visibility should remain generally good, hazy skies and periods of reduced air quality are possible, especially for sensitive groups. Looking ahead, rain chances increase Friday as additional moisture and an upper-level disturbance move into the region. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected heading into the weekend, while heat index values above 105 degrees remain likely each afternoon. Arthur Update Arthur, the first named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, has weakened into a post-tropical low over southeast Texas. While the storm itself is fading, its impacts continue. The remnants of Arthur are expected to produce widespread rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches, with isolated amounts approaching 20 inches, from Texas into Louisiana and across portions of the Southeast through Friday. Life-threatening flash flooding remains the primary concern. Have a wonderful day South Florida and make it a safe one!

So she called Help Me Howard with Brandon Beyer. Kara Hazelton has been running her pet sitter business for 20 years. An idea that she came up with after leaving her own pets for an extended period. Kara Hazelton: “A long time ago, we boarded our dogs in a facility for two weeks and they were so stressed when we got back.” She saw a need – and started a business: “Fur Get Me Not Pet Sitting.” Kara Hazelton: “I figured that pets are more comfortable in their own environment so I started it that way.” She’s got her regular clients – and by word of mouth, she’s been adding customers to fill the calendar. Kara Hazelton: “My dailies, I have about six to seven and then some vacations people go out of town, I stay overnight at their home.” Last month, she took one of those overnight jobs. It was for nearly a week and she was going to be paid several hundred dollars. Kara Hazelton: “They went away for six nights out of town, and I stayed at their home, I slept over, I walked their dogs four times a day, took great care of them.” But while she was there, the toilet leaked. Kara Hazelton: “Shut the water off, there was a little water around the toilet. I put towels down, I called the owner, they said it was fine, it happens.” But when they got home, Kara says they decided not to pay her because of the leak. Kara Hazelton: “She said, ‘Not happening.’ She said ‘We decided we’re not going to pay you.’ Just like that.” Kara was out of a lot of money. Kara Hazelton: “This is my only source of income. I’m a single mom to my 2-year-old. It really hurt me financially.” Out of options, she called us. Kara Hazelton: “I trusted them. It’s been two years that I’ve known them. They knew my son. We’re friendly toward each other. I didn’t expect this.” Howard, she took good care of their pets. Can they avoid paying her over a leaky toilet? Howard Finkelstein: “No. She did what she was hired to do, kept the dogs safe and cared for and so she is entitled to be paid in full. And she is not responsible for damages caused by a leaky toilet unless they can prove she was somehow negligent and did something that caused the leak.” We spoke with the owners of the dogs Kara cared for and they sent her $300. Not as much as Kara believes she was owed, but she accepted the payment and is ready to move on.

A sea of yellow took over FIFA Fan Fest at Bayfront Park in downtown Miami, Wednesday night, as hundreds of fans watched the game between Colombia and Uzbekistan. It was Uzbekistan’s first World Cup game. At Manantial Marketplace in Miami, fans wore national jerseys to support the team and their star player James Rodríguez. “That’s our idol, so we definitely want to see him shine,” said Carlos Echeverry. Other fans shared their hopes for Colombia to win it all. “They should win this, they should win. Hopefully they come out to win, they don’t have a bad team this year, we’ll see how it goes. But they have a solid squad, I think they could pull it out this year,” said Alfredo Castro, a Colombia fan. Kamila Monterrosa was the lone Uzbekistan fan at the Manantial watch party. “I’m originally from Uzbekistan; I was born in Uzbekistan,” she said. Monterrosa said she was dragged by her Colombian friend to watch the game. “It’s been 34 years, and we’ve been waiting for this moment,” she said. “Going against such a strong team, that they’ve been at every World Cup here, like participating, and I’m so proud of my country.” But Colombia actually missed out on being being at 2022’s World Cup. “I feel like we have our team back; it’s been a long time, and I feel like we’re very solid this year,” said Cami Cardozo The fans’ wish for a win was granted at around midnight on Thursday. The Colombian team emerged triumphant after beating Uzbekistan 3-1. Colombia is next slated to play against the Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday, while Uzbekistan will be squaring off against Portugal, also on Tuesday.","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/colombian-fans-attend-watch-parties-across-miami-share-hopes-during-match-against-uzbekistan/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Jayme Berezdivin","publishDate":"2026-06-18T02:40:04.000Z","category":"arts","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F61726-Colombia-Bayfront-Park.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"colombian-fans-attend-watch-parties-across-miami-share-hopes-during-match-against-uzbekistan"},{"id":"4916y3","archiveId":"3ecyrl","title":"Gade Tet Ou with Dr. Flore: Checking Out Guest Jean Lindor","excerpt":"Gade Tet Ou or check yourself out is so much more than just three words.

crash that killed 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez.Following the defense's decision to rest late Wednesday afternoon, prosecutors immediately called rebuttal witnesses, including the fathers of Fernandez and Katy Puig.Rudy Puig, father of Katy Puig, testified regarding his daughter's condition following the Sept. 4, 2022, crash. Katy, one of the 12 teenage girls aboard Pino's boat that day, suffered a traumatic brain injury in the incident. Her father told the court that she is now confined to a wheelchair and requires around-the-clock medical care.When asked if his daughter remains in the same condition as when she left for the birthday party at Ocean Reef Club, he answered, \"No, she is not,\" describing her as an active athlete and healthy student prior to the crash.Andres Fernandez, Lucy Fernandez's father, also returned to the stand. He testified that while the two families had been close for years, their relationship had grown more distant over time, even though the girls remained friends despite attending different schools.Before resting the defense's case, the judge asked Pino if he intended to testify in his own defense. Pino declined, stating, \"I do not wish to testify\".Earlier in the day, the defense presented testimony from neurologist Dr. Diana Barratt, who was hired last October as a consultant and expert witness. Barratt testified that after reviewing Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission body-camera footage and EMS records, she concluded that a head injury Pino sustained in the crash resulted in a traumatic brain injury and subsequent amnesia.Barratt told jurors that while Pino appeared clear during interviews at certain points, he would later become unsure or provide incorrect answers.During cross-examination, lead prosecutor Laura Adams challenged the medical conclusions regarding amnesia. Adams questioned whether there were any signs of the condition beyond Pino not remembering who sat behind him, the horsepower of his engines, and his immediate observations after being ejected from the boat.\"I didn't see any other signs of amnesia,\" Barratt responded.Closing arguments are scheduled for Monday, with jury deliberations expected to begin Monday afternoon.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/day-8-of-george-pinos-deadly-boat-crash-trial-defense-rests/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"Nikiya  Carrero","publishDate":"2026-06-18T02:45:54.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2F487fe649-765b-43dc-9540-473412abd9af%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F75aa717e37900c2fe228390d42879371%2Fgeorge-pino-day-8-testimony.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"defense-rests-in-day-8-of-george-pinos-deadly-boat-crash-trial-with-rebuttal-from-the-prosecution"},{"id":"76zcvy","archiveId":"cb28qh","title":"Miami Beach Police officer in critical condition after ATV crash while responding to a burglary","excerpt":"A Miami Beach Police officer was rushed to the hospital in critical condition following a crash while on duty.

The female officer was responding to a burglary in progress on an ATV when she was involved in a crash at the intersection of Ninth Street and Meridian Avenue, at around 9 p.m. on Wednesday. 7News sources said the policewoman was injured and immediately rushed to the hospital. A 7News crew arrived at the scene moments after the crash unfolded. Cameras captured officers at the scene with crime tape being put up, as well as two ATVs. Video exclusively obtained by 7News shows an ATV while on the road trying to pass another ATV. The first ATV appears to strike a curb or some shrubs, then rolls over. Moments later, witnesses are seen running over to help the officer. Responding officers shut down several roads and the MacArthur Causeway while they investigated. 7News sources said both ATVs were speeding to try to get to a burglary that was in progress nearby. Cellphone video obtained exclusively by 7News shows the injured officer being rushed from the scene to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center. The department told 7News on Wednesday night that the officer is listed in critical condition. Sources told 7News that while at the hospital, she was alert and talking. They identified the patient as Miami Beach Police Officer Miona Mijalkovic, who was sworn in this past September. 7News cameras captured other members of the Miami Beach Police Department at the hospital showing support for their injured colleague. Thursday morning, police provided the following update about further details about Mijalkovic: “Our officer remains in good spirits and continues to recover. We are thankful for the outpouring of prayers, support and encouragement from our community, and for the outstanding care being provided by the medical team at Jackson Memorial Hospital.” The crash remains under investigation..","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/miami-beach-officer-in-critical-condition-after-crash-while-responding-to-a-burglary/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Litzy Grijalba","publishDate":"2026-06-18T02:32:40.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061726-Miami-Beach-officer-in-critical-condition-after-ATV-crash-while-responding-to-a-burglary-in-progress.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"miami-beach-police-officer-in-critical-condition-after-atv-crash-while-responding-to-a-burglary"},{"id":"ybvdo8","archiveId":"lnbrhr","title":"Broward medical building report many people trapped in their elevators: \"It's a danger zone\"","excerpt":"Tenants and patients at the Emerald Lake Plaza on Sterling Road in Hollywood are calling for action after recurring malfunctions with the building's elevator have left visitors trapped and others unable to access essential services.The situation has caused significant distress for those visiting med","content":"Tenants and patients at the Emerald Lake Plaza on Sterling Road in Hollywood are calling for action after recurring malfunctions with the building's elevator have left visitors trapped and others unable to access essential services.The situation has caused significant distress for those visiting medical offices within the building, particularly the elderly and those with limited mobility.Rick Valente, a patient who visits a third-floor doctor's office several times a month, said he has been forced to climb the stairs despite relying on a cane for stability.\"I can't do stairs very well because I have no strength in my legs,\" Valente said. \"It was excruciatingly painful, but I knew I had to be here, so I did it, and when I was done, going back down was just as bad\".The issue appears to be ongoing. Stacey Wells, who works in the building, said she hears people calling out for help from the elevator at least once a week.\"I've heard people calling out, and it's pretty scary, so I just tell all the clients that come in do not take the elevator; it's hazardous, it's a danger zone, I believe,\" Wells said.Viewer photos shared with CBS News Miami show Hollywood Fire Rescue responding to an incident Monday to assist a trapped occupant. Another patient, David Nurieli, described seeing elderly individuals forced to walk or be carried up three flights of stairs when the elevator fails.Firm Realty, the property management company, acknowledged the issue in a statement to CBS News Miami. Management said they have issued a formal Notice of Deficiency to TK Elevator, the building's service provider, and have sought evaluations from other firms.\"Property management is fully aware of the elevator issues at Emerald Lake Plaza and shares the frustration of our tenants and visitors,\" the company said. \"The recurring outages and occasional entrapments are unacceptable to us, and resolving them has been one of our highest priorities\".Management added that they have funds set aside to replace the elevator, though a timeline for the project has not been announced.CBS News Miami reached out to TK Elevator. A spokesperson shared this statement:\"TK Elevator understands how frustrating repeated service issues can be for residents and building management, and we take this matter very seriously. In this case, this particular building is operating a single elevator system that is more than two decades old. By industry standards, this unit is nearing its end-of-life period of reliability. To that end, in recent months the unit has required multiple service callbacks, and in each instance TK Elevator's dedicated team has worked to restore the unit as quickly and safely as possible. However, with this type of aging equipment, components can become increasingly prone to unexpected failure, even with regular maintenance. TK Elevator has been in communication with this customer to plan for a full modernization of the system, which is the most effective, long-term solution to improve reliability and performance. Most recently, we provided an updated modernization proposal in early May, and we understand the customer is still evaluating options.Nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of our people, our customers, and the riding public. We remain committed to supporting the building as it works towards a long-term modernization solution.\"Broward County officials confirmed that a code compliance inspector visited the site Tuesday following a call from the Hollywood Fire Department. While the elevator was running during the inspection, the county issued a violation for an expired inspection certificate. A full report is pending.If you have breaking news, a tip, or an issue you think deserves investigation, contact our newsroom at 844-404-4954 (Broward) or 844-404-4305 (Miami-Dade).

The stakes rise quickly as the 48 teams begin playing their second group-stage matches. Cape Verde, Qatar and Congo have earned points for the first time in the World Cup, raising hope for an improbable run to the knockout round. Spain, Portugal and Brazil, among the pre-tournament favorites to win it all, need wins to keep up in their groups after opening with draws. Belgium, the Netherlands, Croatia and Switzerland are in the same boat. On Thursday, hosts Mexico and Canada, along with Switzerland and South Korea, will be among the teams playing for a second time. What to watch on June 17 — Czech Republic vs. South Africa, noon EDT in Atlanta (Fox/Telemundo/Peacock) — Switzerland vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina, 3 p.m. EDT in Inglewood, California (Fox/Telemundo/Peacock) — Canada vs. Qatar, 6 p.m. EDT in Vancouver, British Columbia (FS1/Telemundo/Peacock) — Mexico vs. South Korea, 9 p.m. EDT in Guadalajara, Mexico (Fox/Telemundo/Peacock) Mexico faces South Korea for control of Group A Mexico will look to take control of Group A against South Korea following a thrilling start as World Cup host. Four years after a major disappointment in Qatar, the Mexicans roared out of the gate with a 2-0 win over South Africa. The dominant victory thrilled a capacity crowd of 80,824 at famed Azteca Stadium and drew 7.1 million viewers in the United States, making it the most-watched opening match for an English-language broadcast. The next match may be a little tougher. South Korea opened its 12th World Cup appearance by scoring twice in the second half for a 2-1 win over the Czech Republic. While Mexico will have to travel 600 miles from Mexico City for its second match, South Korea remained in Guadalajara following its opener. Mexico also will be without defender Cesar Montes, who received one of three red cards in the match against South Africa. Short-handed South Africa South Africa will be short-handed for its Group A match against the Czech Republic in Atlanta. Sphephelo Sithole and Themba Zwane both received red cards against Mexico, which carries an automatic one-game suspension. Zwane’s suspension was increased to thee games by FIFA on Wednesday, deeming his contact to the face of Mexico’s Roberto Alvarado to be serious foul play. South Africa is appealing FIFA’s decision. Canada and Qatar aiming for first World Cup win Canada and Qatar made history in their openers, scoring late goals to earn their first World Cup points. The teams meet on Thursday looking for their first win. Qatar had a forgettable run in the 2022 World Cup, scoring a single goal while becoming the first host country to lose all three of its matches. The Qataris opened this year’s tournament with a shocker, scoring in stoppage time to pull out a 1-1 draw against Group B favorite Switzerland. Canada followed a rousing opening ceremony with a slow start against Bosnia-Herzegovina Friday in Toronto. Substitute Cyle Larin turned disappointment into celebration, scoring in the 78th minute to secure a 1-1 draw. It marked Canada’s first World Cup point after it scored one goal while losing all six games in 1976 in Mexico and four years ago in Qatar. Canada’s bid for a first win could be hampered by captain Alphonso Davies’ nagging hamstring injury. He didn’t play against Bosnia and has been limited in training from an injury suffered while playing for Bayern Munich on May 6. Switzerland looking to regroup Switzerland is trying to bounce back from the shocking tie against 56th-ranked Qatar that created a four-way tie in Group B. The next chance for the Swiss comes against Bosnia-Herzegovina, which had the opposite reaction to opening with a draw. At No. 64 in the world, the Bosnians are the lowest-ranked team in the group, yet pulled out a draw against the host country. That came after Bosnia stunned Italy in the final of the European playoffs.

For the third consecutive day, most of Miami-Dade and Broward counties were under Heat Advisories. Here’s a look at the peak heat index values including a whopping reading of 112º as the “feels like” temperature in Miami Beach. Meanwhile, we had another smoky sky due resulting from Brush Fires located west of the Florida Turnpike (Miami-Dade). Much of the day focused on two separate fires (both close in proximity) with plenty of smoke transported north into Broward County. By Wednesday evening, it was evident that another Brush Fire had formed farther west along US-41 the Tamiami Trail. Unfortunately, storms from Wednesday afternoon generated Lightning which, in turn, sparked another grass fire. As we look to Thursday’s weather, the heat streak continues. Temperatures will continue to run between 3 and 5-degrees above average so Miami will again flirt with a record high. The forecast and record numbers are shown below. The weather map shows south Florida at the western periphery of High Pressure from the Atlantic. It’s still allowing for the flow of tropical air into our region. There’s one difference from previous days, though. Instead of a direct wind from the south, winds will veer out of the southeast. That’s important. While it won’t curb our heat and humidity, it should be enough to shift smoke westward (specifically toward the NW most of the day). Residents in Broward County may catch a small break and “breathe easier” due to the difference. At the same time, developing afternoon storms are likely to remain over inland areas as new steering winds drive storms away. The somewhat drier times aren’t expected to last, though. Notice on the 7-day rain trend, below, chances ramp higher to close out the week. Active thunderstorms will likely be forming, mainly during the afternoon, over the Holiday weekend. A washout? No, but be aware that plans could temporarily get derailed during the upcoming holiday weekend.","url":"https://wsvn.com/weather-blog/smoke-heat-storms/","source":"WSVN 7 News","author":"Brent Cameron","publishDate":"2026-06-18T00:24:46.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2FBlog-1-11.png%3Fw%3D1024","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"smoke-heat-storms"},{"id":"qka3ju","archiveId":"y2o4iw","title":"North Miami Beach's new city manager facing multiple legal challenges","excerpt":"Just three months into his tenure, North Miami Beach City Manager Darvin Williams is facing multiple legal challenges from current and former employees, including lawsuits and federal complaints alleging workplace misconduct, retaliation, and wrongful employment actions.","content":"Just three months into his tenure, North Miami Beach City Manager Darvin Williams is facing multiple legal challenges from current and former employees, including lawsuits and federal complaints alleging workplace misconduct, retaliation, and wrongful employment actions.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/north-miami-beachs-new-city-manager-facing-multiple-legal-challenges/","source":"CBS4 Miami","author":"CBS Miami","publishDate":"2026-06-17T23:35:00.000Z","category":"real-estate","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2F6f21fd68-fbcc-4a9a-9a36-b4f52eac3a1c%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F3709613a970598771131a1c25db9087c%2F132b7bdcda494b27464f75e2795f67e0.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"north-miami-beachs-new-city-manager-facing-multiple-legal-challenges"},{"id":"t2g30w","archiveId":"qr3j2t","title":"Wynwood steakhouse hosts free celebration, watch party for the Brazil versus Scotland game","excerpt":"If you’re looking for a place to catch World Cup fever without a ticket, Wynwood is getting in on the FIFA action with a free celebration of Brazil and soccer.

They’re bringing the best DJs, food, and the splashiest party of the summer. So grab your floaties and let’s dive right in. Asian lovers and electronic music lovers unite, Water Fest is flowing to So-Flo for the first time ever. Thao Chau: “We want everybody to come have fun, make friends, and enjoy the peace of Asian culture.” The two-day rave with big splash zones goes down at Sunset Cove Amphitheater in Boca Raton this weekend. Thao Chau: “You must make sure you will get wet, so you have to. Thinking how to wear when you get wet all day long from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. First, earlier they will enjoy food because many, many types of Asian food. You have to try it. Second, they enjoy music.” DJ Soda will be at the top of the techno music lineup Saturday. Repping the Philippines is Sunday’s headliner, DJ Laidback Luke. DJ Laidback Luke: “What I love is there’s emphasis on the community, like food, Asian power, culture, anime, K-pop, and that sort of thing. I think it’s a wonderful experience and I’m so honored to be a part of that.” With over 20 DJs from countries like Vietnam, Thailand, and South Korea, this festival stands as Florida’s largest H2O-inspired party. DJ Laidback Luke: “When I mentioned K-pop, there will be mash-ups like that. There will also be mashups that reference the gaming, for instance.” What’s a party without games?

From learning about indoor skydiving to doing some of your own rock climbing, their newest exhibit is all about action. Deco’s extreme reporter, Alex Miranda, has more. If you like the idea of extreme sports but don’t need any of that risk in your life, well, Extreme Sports Beyond Human Limits is hands-on, but it’s not death-defying. Frost Science in Downtown Miami is taking things to another level with its new Extreme Sports Beyond Human Limits exhibit. Dr. Analisa Duran, Vice President of Science Education at the Frost Museum: “You can take part in the exhibit. You’re not just passively observing the exhibit. And we want you to play.” Which puts guests in the shoes of daredevils, exploring the science behind climbing, flying, diving, and more. Dr. Analisa Duran: “The exhibit kind of starts off exploring the psychology behind those who participate in extreme sports. We’ll practice our sense of proprioception.” [Employee shows off skill] Dr. Analisa Duran: “So it should be easier to do it as your fingers are wiggling.” Alex Miranda: “Now, is this an extreme sport?” This is… [laughs] We’ll get our sensation-seeking score. Alex Miranda: “I would like to try bungee jumping. I have bungee jumped.” We got a 36 out of 40, which will then show us how we perceive risk in our day-to-day life. …Which ranges from person to person. Guest: “Well, I love it because I stay on the ground.” Dr. Analisa Duran: “We are on a portal ledge, which is basically a tent that the real extreme rock climbers use when they’re thousands of feet up in the air and they need to sleep for the night.” Alex Miranda: “Like a porta-potty.” Guest: “And you could actually feel like you’re skydiving. like you’re doing all these extreme sports that you normally would not dare to do.” Alex speaks to the child: “Did you go rock climbing, buddy Jones?” Child: “Yeah.” Alex Miranda: “What was that like?” Child: “Good.” [After the child rock climbs] Alex Miranda: “Do you want to play extreme sports?” Child: “No.” Alex Miranda: “Did you play soccer or parkour?” Child: “Parkour.” Alex Miranda: “Did you bounce around?” Child: “Yeah.” Alex Miranda: “Did you jump?” Child: “Yeah.” Alex Miranda: “Did you roll?” Child: “Yeah.” Alex Miranda: “Would you recommend that families come and try it out?” Guest: “Definitely, they should come and try it out all together as a group.” Dr. Analisa Duran: “Three and under, always free. Youth ages 4 to 11 start at $24.95, and adults start at $29.95.” Guest: “And they’ll feel the extreme sports without the danger.” Now that the ticket gets you access to the entire museum, you can enjoy all of it, including the planetarium.

The organization and Baptist Health South Florida helped families build more than just houses in Southwest Miami-Dade. They are building stability, opportunity, and a place to call home for countless families. “Habitat has done a wonderful thing by providing this opportunity. The program itself is amazing because it helps me to create a safe environment, a peaceful home for my family,” said a new homeowner. Future homeowners grabbed their hard hats and hammers to put hundreds of hours in sweat equity alongside volunteers for months on end. On Wednesday, it was finally move-in day. The construction and staff were amazing. The way that they equipped you and advised you about the little things, especially the cosmetic stuff you may want to run out and call a contractor for, I don’t have to do that. This is just something I’m comfortable with, a portion to take care of myself,” said the new homeowner. The program offers no-down-payment and zero-percent-interest mortgages, giving working families a path to homeownership at a time when affordable housing is hard to come by for many South Floridians. “It’s a blessing. Every year that I have my house is a blessing. And walking around this home and meeting their owners, it’s like for the first time for me as well,” said a homeowner. 7News cameras, 100 keys hung on a board, representing the dozens of families who now have a safe place to call home. Organizers said they are just getting started. “There is no better feeling than working alongside a family that is working to help earn a home in a community, a home that they would never be able to afford on their own, but because of Habitat, they can. And it’s just magnificent,” said Calvin Babcock, Chairman of the Board at Baptist Hospital of Miami. Since 2000, Baptist Health South Florida has contributed more than $7.8 million to the home-building effort. Employees work side by side with future homeowners to help make the dream of owning a home a reality. “It’s a great day of celebration here, not only for our homeowner, but also for Baptist and the hundredth house that they have sponsored. For the last 30 years, Baptist has not only been there financially, but thousands of volunteers have come out. And it’s really woven into their DNA, it’s not just a great organization, but their DNA is in the community, so we couldn’t be prouder to be associated with Baptist, and so grateful for all that they’ve done for us,” said Habitat for Humanity CEO Mario Artecona.

The Hollywood & Entertainment Signature Auction presented by Heritage Auctions announced Tuesday and held July 13-17 also includes hats from “The Wizard of Oz” and “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” hoverboards from “Back to the Future II,” rugs from “The Big Lebowski” and a pair of Rocky’s boxing boots. A major Beatles artifact will also be up for sale: John Lennon’s handwritten lyrics for “If I fell,” written on the back of a Valentine card while he was in New York for the Fab Four’s first appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1964. The bidding for it will open at $500,000. The lightsaber, used onscreen by Mark Hamill in the climactic Cloud City fight in the 1980 “Star Wars” sequel, where Darth Vader declares “I am your father,” includes a severed hand effects rig. It’s never been up for auction before, and bidding opens at $1 million. Bidding starts at $100,000 for a Wicked Witch of the West hat worn by actor Margaret Hamilton in 1939’s “The Wizard of Oz” and at $50,000 for the brown top hat worn by Gene Wilder as the title character in 1971’s “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” The auction will also include a pair of boxing boots worn by Sylvester Stallone in “Rocky III.” Stallone wears the showy boots featuring tassels and a Nike swoosh in the opening montage of the 1982 film. Bids will begin at $100,000. Also up for sale are the two rugs that are essential to the plot of “The Big Lebowski,” including the rug belonging to Jeff Bridges’ the Dude that is soiled at the beginning of the 1998 film that “really tied the room together,” and the other that he takes from his wealthy namesake. Bidding on them opens at $15,000 apiece. “This auction represents the full spectrum of entertainment history, from Hollywood’s Golden Age to modern blockbuster cinema and the most influential moments in popular music,” Joe Maddalena, executive vice president of Heritage Auctions, said in a statement. Many other items including a Paul Newman hockey jersey from “Slap Shot,” a necklace worn by the title character in “The Bride of Frankenstein” and the inflatable “Otto the Autopilot” from “Airplane” will be up for auction.","author":"Litzy Grijalba","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061726-Lukes-Empire-lightsaber-Wizard-of-Oz-witch-hat-and-Lebowski-rugs-going-up-for-auction.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"lukes-empire-lightsaber-wizard-of-oz-witch-hat-and-lebowski-rugs-going-up-for-auction"},{"id":"88key0","title":"Elderly condo residents in Fontainebleau area says they continue to be stranded by broken elevators","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"real-estate","publishDate":"2026-06-17T22:55:00.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/elderly-condo-residents-in-fontainebleau-area-says-they-continue-to-be-stranded-by-broken-elevators/","archiveId":"5zha81","excerpt":"Residents of a condominium complex near Doral are appealing for help after being stranded on upper floors for more than a month, with an out-of-service elevator.","content":"Residents of a condominium complex near Doral are appealing for help after being stranded on upper floors for more than a month, with an out-of-service elevator.","author":"CBS Miami","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2Ffd11c675-5962-4e0b-8a15-9b1af1314a15%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fcdd06a60df4c259fed3700b0c35c81de%2F78475aaa17a15eb3a69fe65632f9e4a4.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"elderly-condo-residents-in-fontainebleau-area-says-they-continue-to-be-stranded-by-broken-elevators"},{"id":"ig0odw","title":"Live Updates: Trump says U.S.-Iran deal \"not final,\" threatens to resume bombing \"if they don't behave\"","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"local","publishDate":"2026-06-17T22:54:05.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/live-updates/iran-war-us-trump-peace-deal-israel/","archiveId":"d87cog","excerpt":"President Trump warned he could order new strikes if Iran's leaders \"don't behave.\" The U.S. and Iran signed the memorandum of understanding remotely, a White House official said.","content":"President Trump warned he could order new strikes if Iran's leaders \"don't behave.\" The U.S. and Iran signed the memorandum of understanding remotely, a White House official said.","author":"Duarte  Dias","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2F840936a2-99be-4a2b-951b-6c162092be29%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F6a7b49f3ccabb0a15dfa81bec941afb8%2Fgettyimages-2281418930.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"live-updates-trump-says-us-iran-deal-not-final-threatens-to-resume-bombing-if-they-dont-behave"},{"id":"1jn1xl","title":"Florida's proposed property tax exemption amendment sparks debate over city budgets","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"safety","publishDate":"2026-06-17T22:53:12.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/florida-tax-exemption-city-budget-debate-june-2025/","archiveId":"angzda","excerpt":"A proposed state tax amendment set for the November ballot has local officials and state leaders at odds over the future of municipal funding.The amendment aims to reduce property taxes by raising the homestead exemption—the value of a home shielded from non-school taxes—from $50,000 to ","content":"A proposed state tax amendment set for the November ballot has local officials and state leaders at odds over the future of municipal funding.The amendment aims to reduce property taxes by raising the homestead exemption—the value of a home shielded from non-school taxes—from $50,000 to $250,000 over the next two years.Jerry Greenberg, a councilmember for the Village of Pinecrest, said the change would severely impact smaller municipalities that lack large taxable business districts to offset potential revenue losses.\"Our tax base is going to be dramatically impacted by this change,\" Greenberg said. \"I understand why people want tax relief. I'm a small business owner with a family and a house myself. Everybody wants that. But the problem is this particular tax relief is really no relief at all because it comes at a price to local government budgets.\"Greenberg noted that property taxes on single-family homes account for approximately half of Pinecrest's general fund, which finances essential services such as police, parks, recreation, and permitting.Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia argues that tax relief is necessary to curb government growth.\"Local government is growing faster than your ability to pay for it,\" Ingoglia recently said. He attributed the need for the amendment to what he described as over-taxation and reckless spending in counties across the state, including Miami-Dade. \"Local government will not stop growing, will not stop spending recklessly unless acted upon by an outside force,\" he said.In response, the Miami-Dade Mayor's office challenged the allegations of wasteful spending. In a statement, the office said the CFO failed to identify specific examples of waste or conduct a review of actual county spending.The constitutional amendment will require at least 60 percent of the vote in November to pass.","author":"Manuel  Bojorquez","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2F1c63f4fc-5483-4b72-8dae-4d5d258cb74e%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fc9964cda2059615d0ec5acccaefa93ee%2Fgettyimages-2021887164.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"floridas-proposed-property-tax-exemption-amendment-sparks-debate-over-city-budgets"},{"id":"7m8kwm","title":"MIA opens private luxury terminal for travelers","source":"WSVN 7 News","category":"arts","publishDate":"2026-06-17T22:41:35.000Z","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/miami-airport-luxury-terminal/","archiveId":"b1209r","excerpt":"Airplane passengers are now able to travel in luxury before their flight at a South Florida airport.

The Tartan Army, consisting of thousands of Scottish fans, is charging into the Sunshine State. Fans are expected to meet up at Ball and Chain in Little Havana, a Cuban-style restaurant renowned for its high-energy filled with music and dancing, before marching to loanDepot Park for a Marlins game against the Rangers next week. “The Cubans will be playing music, the Scots will play the music, and it’s gonna be rock and rolling. On that day, everybody will be Scottish in Miami,” said Greg Sim, part of the Tartan Army. The Scots will wear a kilt, also known as the cornerstone of Scottish national dress and a celebrated symbol of Celtic heritage, with immense pride. Their migration to South Florida comes days after they traveled to Boston’s Fenway Park for the team’s first two games and turned the city into a massive bash. “People have been so great with us, people inviting us back to their homes to celebrate with them, people in America are great,” said McLachlan, a Scottish soccer fan. But the Scots aren’t solely bringing passion and energy to the game. South Floridians are no strangers to Brazilian culture, with the samba and unmatched passion, Brazilians are sure to turn it up for this FIFA World Cup. The Tartan Army will make their presence known starting on Monday as they bring Scottish flags, pride on their sleeves, and kilts. As their motto says, “No Scotland, no party. Without us, you’re not going to have a party,” said Sim. Scotland will face Brazil on June 24 in Miami Stadium.","author":"Litzy Grijalba","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061726-Scotlands-Tartan-Army-set-to-take-over-loanDepot-Park-for-Marlins-vs.-Rangers-ahead-of-World-Cup-match.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"scotlands-tartan-army-set-to-take-over-loandepot-park-for-marlins-vs-rangers-ahead-of-world-cup-matc"},{"id":"eojd9x","title":"Man accused of slashing large World Cup soccer ball in Miami Beach","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"safety","publishDate":"2026-06-17T22:34:00.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/man-accused-of-slashing-large-world-cup-soccer-ball-in-miami-beach/","archiveId":"eoz3nb","excerpt":"The Miami Beach police showed a photo of the deflated soccer ball, and arrested a man after witnesses pointed him out.","content":"The Miami Beach police showed a photo of the deflated soccer ball, and arrested a man after witnesses pointed him out.","author":"CBS Miami","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2F28331715-7cf8-4a2e-aa57-1a2000bdb2b0%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F42da24b73cf941e7559d925284f5b544%2F01b37efebb12e6d52d9b98f41ea801b8.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"man-accused-of-slashing-large-world-cup-soccer-ball-in-miami-beach"},{"id":"ikrvtr","title":"South Florida cities at odds over proposed state tax amendment","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"real-estate","publishDate":"2026-06-17T22:32:00.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/south-florida-cities-at-odds-over-proposed-state-tax-amendment/","archiveId":"wodnas","excerpt":"The amendment aims to reduce property taxes by raising the homestead exemption—the value of a home shielded from non-school taxes—from $50,000 to $250,000 over the next two years.","content":"The amendment aims to reduce property taxes by raising the homestead exemption—the value of a home shielded from non-school taxes—from $50,000 to $250,000 over the next two years.","author":"CBS Miami","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2Fe86cdb9d-c89f-4110-af35-36c23ad43cc5%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F7ddafbea260279ff2ae5962f6d01f876%2F4f53702b75b3fa8f378df40a588687ef.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"south-florida-cities-at-odds-over-proposed-state-tax-amendment"},{"id":"5fgd5a","title":"Miami-Dade Public Schools votes for closures of 9 schools","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"real-estate","publishDate":"2026-06-17T22:25:00.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/miami-dade-public-schools-votes-for-closures-of-9-schools/","archiveId":"7rlldn","excerpt":"The meeting caused pushback from parents.","content":"The meeting caused pushback from parents.","author":"CBS Miami","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2F62bb140b-5b91-498f-a12e-db2d8863e68a%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F34170fa85533eb54c4017baa7d587806%2F2e71203c7615a3820ee74dc7c818090f.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"miami-dade-public-schools-votes-for-closures-of-9-schools"},{"id":"q1i7tc","title":"Matthew Castillo sworn in as new Doral Police chief, promises to improve public safety","source":"WSVN 7 News","category":"safety","publishDate":"2026-06-17T22:23:45.000Z","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/matthew-castillo-sworn-in-as-new-doral-police-chief-promises-to-improve-public-safety/","archiveId":"69x8iq","excerpt":"The City of Doral has sworn in a new police chief.

A story on fragile parchment paper with messy side notes, signatures of men we know and many we don’t, all tell a 30-year journey from colonies to the United States. “These documents are living,” said an official. CEO of the Museum of Miami, Natalia Crujeiras, shared the importance of viewing the founding documents in person. “We learn about this history in the classroom, and we learn about it through textbooks, but when you’re in front of them, something being tangible that you can really understand better. This is a different level,” said Crujeiras. “Our history is messy, and it’s not always perfect. But that patriotism and democracy is not always inherited. It depends on our participation. From deep within the vaults of the National Archives in Washington, starting with the Articles of Association, in which angry colonists, years before the Revolution, decided to boycott British goods, the documents that forged a nation on display begin this weekend at the Museum of Miami. “And so they got together and said, ‘How do we fight a tyrant?’ And the best way to fight a tyrant is to hit him in his pocketbook,” said Historian of the National Archives Jessie Kratz. The stories of the years that followed are visible in climate and light-controlled glass cases, including the first time the words “United States of America” were used on the engraving of the Declaration of Independence. “What’s interesting about seeing the actual document is that ‘United’ is small. They didn’t want big government. It was about the state’s rights, and so you see that represented even in the actual engrossment of the document,” said Patrick Madden, CEO of National Archives Foundation. The exhibit arrived on Monday as part of an eight-city tour and was dedicated on Wednesday, three days before it’s open to the public. Papers that move from rebellion to oaths of allegiance by several founding fathers to a rough draft of the Bill of Rights are complete with last-minute notes and edits. “They were debating what should be in, what should be out. So it’s very much an active conversation. This is going to be a different kind of government and a different kind of democracy built on ideas and ideals. So we continue to work toward a more perfect union. But these are the one and only original documents to start us on this path,” said Madden. The Freedom Plane National Tour exhibit opens at the Museum of Miami on June 20. It runs through July 5, open every day, and it’s free because organizers said they want everyone to have a chance to see it.","author":"Litzy Grijalba","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061726-Museum-of-Miami-hosts-Freedom-Plane-National-Tour-bringing-original-Founding-era-documents.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"museum-of-miami-hosts-freedom-plane-national-tour-displaying-original-founding-era-documents"},{"id":"xrk5tr","title":"New mural celebrates Miami’s love for soccer in Little Havana","source":"WSVN 7 News","category":"arts","publishDate":"2026-06-17T22:12:55.000Z","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/new-mural-celebrates-miamis-love-for-soccer-in-little-havana/","archiveId":"c53xsn","excerpt":"World Cup fever is here to stay as a piece of street art celebrates Miami’s love for soccer.

A hat trick is when a single player scores three goals in a single game. Messi, who arrived in the Major League Soccer in 2023, worked his magic during Tuesday night’s match and joined the elite group of players who’ve pulled it off. He is the first male player to appear in six World Cups and his opening match may have just started to make the World Cup 2026 one to remember. Following the victory, Messi told the media that he’s going to celebrate the historic match. “I’m going to celebrate with my family, teammates, enjoy with the ones that are always there for me. This is a beautiful way to start the World Cup. I’m going to enjoy with my team. We are very united,” said Messi. His colleagues say there is no one like him. “There are no words left to write. If anyone thought this team was better without Leo, well, today became clear that Leo is the most important player of all,” said Alexis Mac Allister, Argentina midfielder. With his three goals on Tuesday night, Messi is now tied for the all-time World Cup scoring record of 16 goals. Messi’s first World Cup hat-trick comes 20 years to the day he scored his first ever goal in the World Cup at the age of 18. Just days shy of his 39th birthday, many questioned whether Messi would start Tuesday’s game as he was coming off a hamstring injury that he suffered during Inter Miami’s game in May. But his performance clearly showed he was ready to go and dialed in. “I’m lucky, I feel good after winning a difficult match. It’s never easy to play the first game in the World Cup. The first half was a bit difficult, but we came out on top,” said Messi.

According to a Hialeah Police Special Victims Unit investigation, the allegations stem from incidents reported by the girl that allegedly occurred when she was between 13 and 15 years old. Investigators said the incidents took place at residences in Hialeah and inside a vehicle owned by Delgado. Police said the girl disclosed multiple incidents during a recorded interview, including allegations that Delgado inappropriately touched her and showed her explicit material on his cellphone.

It wouldn’t absolve him of the Dec. 4, 2024, killing, but could free him from prison sooner. If a jury accepts that defense, the panel would convict Mangione of manslaughter and he would face up to 25 years in prison. Alternatively, the jury could reject the extreme emotional disturbance defense and convict him of murder, which carries a potential life sentence. That defense isn’t available in his federal case. Judge Gregory Carro announced the decision in court Wednesday, two weeks after holding a secret hearing on the matter at the defense’s request. He said he will unseal a transcript and other records from that proceeding once redactions are made. Mangione’s lawyers first raised the possibility of a psychiatric defense in a sealed letter in September and confirmed the decision at the June 3 hearing, Carro said. They could still change their minds. Prosecutors want Mangione evaluated by a psychiatric expert. “The reasons for the sealing was to give the defense an opportunity to determine whether they were going forth with that defense and the nature of that defense,” Carro said. Carro said he didn’t expect the development to delay Mangione’s trial, which is scheduled to start Sept. 8. The federal trial, which involves stalking charges, is set to begin on Oct. 13. Mangione, 28, has pleaded not guilty in both cases. Sitting between his lawyers and wearing a blue suit, he tried to block his face with a large envelope as news photographers crowded near him at the start of Wednesday’s hearing. He didn’t appear to have any reaction as Carro spoke about the planned psychiatric defense. At a February hearing, Mangione had railed against the prospect of two trials, telling Carro: “It’s the same trial twice. One plus one is two. Double jeopardy by any commonsense definition.” An emotional disturbance defense is not the same as a not guilty by reason of insanity defense, which would allow a defendant to go to a psychiatric facility instead of prison. To establish an emotional disturbance defense, Mangione’s lawyers must demonstrate that the disturbance was so extreme it robbed him of self-control; that, in his mind, there was a reasonable explanation for the disturbance; and that it influenced him to kill Thompson. Heather Cucolo, a New York Law School professor and expert in mental health law, said Mangione’s lawyers could try to accomplish that by having a psychologist testify about his mental state at the time of the killing and the extent of any trauma, abuse or emotional instability he’s suffered. But, she said, they aren’t required to show any proof of a mental illness or show he was in danger. The circumstances of Mangione’s case could make it tough for his lawyers to convince jurors to accept a defense that people often associate with crimes of passion or a sudden outburst where someone is given shocking information that evokes a strong response, Cucolo said. Prosecutors say Mangione planned the attack, wrote in a notebook about wanting to “wack” a health insurance executive and traveled from out of state to ambush Thompson, 50, as the CEO walked to a Manhattan hotel for an investor conference. “Delay,” “deny” and “depose” were written on the ammunition, police said, mimicking a phrase describing how insurers avoid paying claims. “People want to view this within a relatively short period of time and they want it to be simply laid out,” Cucolo said, giving the example of a spousal killing over infidelity. As time passes, she said, “people are not as willing to accept this emotional response that ends up in the death of a human being.” Mangione’s lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, protested Carro’s decision to unseal materials related to his psychiatric defense, saying it will be “prejudicial to his defense to the exact same facts” in his federal case. Last month, Carro ruled that the notebook and a 3D-printed pistol, which prosecutors say matches the gun used to kill Thompson, can be used as evidence against Mangione. But he said a loaded gun magazine and other items were seized during an “improper warrantless search” when he was arrested in Pennsylvania five days after the killing. On Wednesday, Carro dismissed a charge related to the magazine.","author":"Kevin Boulandier","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2025%2F12%2F120525-luigi-mangione-in-court.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"luigi-mangione-will-assert-psychiatric-defense-in-murder-case-in-unitedhealthcare-ceos-killing"},{"id":"anhlhs","title":"Man charged in Coral Gables crime spree linked to two car thefts and five vehicle burglaries","source":"WSVN 7 News","category":"safety","publishDate":"2026-06-17T19:08:20.000Z","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/man-charged-in-coral-gables-crime-spree-linked-to-two-car-thefts-and-five-vehicle-burglaries/","archiveId":"wcw3iq","excerpt":"A 22-year-old man has been charged in connection with a string of vehicle thefts and burglaries across Coral Gables.

Ivis Aceituno was charged with attempted burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, a third-degree felony. Authorities say the investigation tied him to a total of two stolen vehicles and five vehicle burglaries throughout the city. According to the arrest affidavit, surveillance footage captured Aceituno riding a bicycle along the sidewalk at 2806 Segovia St. on May 30 at approximately 4:09 a.m. He left the bike on the sidewalk and approached a 2026 black Cadillac Escalade ESV parked in the driveway, repeatedly pulling on the driver’s side door latch in an attempt to gain entry. After several failed attempts, he turned to a 2025 grey Subaru Crosstrek parked nearby and tried the passenger door latch as well. Unable to get into either vehicle, he fled the scene on the bicycle. Coral Gables police issued a BOLO for the suspect the same day. On June 15, a Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputy positively identified Aceituno as the man in the surveillance footage. He was taken into custody by MDSO and transported to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. The Coral Gables Crime Suppression Team recovered both stolen vehicles. The investigation remains active, and additional charges are expected.

Officers said Casallas greeted several security guards inside the venue, but none recognized him or knew what company he worked for. Event staff later confirmed Casallas was not employed by any security company assigned to the FIFA Fan Fest, investigators said. According to the affidavit, officers found a pocketknife, pepper spray and an expired security license during a search after taking Casallas into custody. Detectives said he claimed he had been hired by a security supervisor and had been working at the venue since June 13, but the supervisor denied ever employing him. Authorities said Casallas performed security-related duties at the event from June 13 through June 16 despite not being hired by any security company and while holding a security license that had expired May 20.

Members and chaperones along with 22 of the organization’s middle school and high school mentees, who are part of the Dr. Harold E. Guinyard Leadership Academy, departed Miami International Airport Wednesday morning, bound for Manhattan. The group is set to join hundreds of attendees at the 40th Annual Conference of 100 Black Men of America, Inc., which is the organization’s annual gathering of mentors, executives, policymakers and educators. The conference provides professional development, youth programming and panels on economic empowerment. Mentees will also take part in an African American History competition and enjoy a trip to Broadway to see “MJ: The Musical.” South Florida Chapter President Pierre Rutledge said one of the main goals is to expose the mentees to something more. “This is what we do: We’re exposing our kids and we’re exposing ourselves to something bigger than what they can actually believe,” he said. Rutledge added that it takes the community as a whole to make efforts like this possible. “Pray for us as we take our trip. Thank you for all of our supporters, thank you for the families, thank you for the community, just thank you for the village who’ve gotten us this far, and we’re on our way,” he said The South Florida chapter has also been named the 2026 Medium Sized Chapter of the Year by the national organization, along with mentee Chai Footman, II, who has been named the 2026 National Mentee of The Year. Each will receive the official designation during the annual conference, which runs from Wednesday through Sunday.","author":"Matthew Garcia","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061726-The-100-Black-Men-of-South-Florida-chapter-trip-to-new-york.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"40th-annual-conference-of-100-black-men-of-america-to-honor-south-florida-chapter-mentee-in-manhatta"},{"id":"bzewfh","title":"Fans eager to see Ronaldo, Portugal take on DR Congo at FIFA World Cup match","source":"WSVN 7 News","category":"arts","publishDate":"2026-06-17T17:09:52.000Z","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/fans-eager-to-see-ronaldo-portugal-take-on-dr-congo-at-fifa-world-cup-match/","archiveId":"j9w2vy","excerpt":"A day after Argentine fans across South Florida witnessed an incredible hat trick by Lionel Messi, Portugal’s supporters are eager to watch Cristiano Ronaldo lead his team in their first match of the World Cup against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Earlier in the week, 7News cameras captured Portugal’s captain leading his squad through practice drills in Palm Beach County. At 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Portugal kicked off their match with the Congo from Houston Stadium. Cellphone video from excited fans in Houston captured the moment Ronaldo and his teammates arrived at their hotel. Another piece of video showed the Portuguese team exiting their bus as they arrived at the stadium before the match. Live shots at Houston Stadium around noon showed Ronaldo warming up on the field prior to the match. Meantime, in downtown Miami, FIFA Fan Fest opened their doors, and crowds poured into Bayfront Park to catch the official Portugal watch party. Fans at the watch party are being treated to several massive LED screens to watch the game, as well as drinks and lively entertainment to enjoy the World Cup.","author":"Matthew Garcia","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061726-ronaldo-at-houston-stadium-vs-dr-congo.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"fans-eager-to-see-ronaldo-portugal-take-on-dr-congo-at-fifa-world-cup-match"},{"id":"u7kigz","title":"George Pino’s defense highlights concussion suffered in fatal 2022 boat crash as trial enters 8th day","source":"WSVN 7 News","category":"safety","publishDate":"2026-06-17T17:01:25.000Z","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/george-pinos-defense-highlights-concussion-suffered-in-fatal-2022-boat-crash-as-trial-enters-8th-day/","archiveId":"l1nnko","excerpt":"On the eighth day for the criminal trial against prominent real estate developer George Pino, the defense started the day by bringing a witness to highlight injuries he suffered that led to the deadly boating accident over Labor Day weekend in 2022.

Wednesday’s court appearance for Pino got off to a late start, beginning with the defense calling on a neurologist who described a concussion that the real estate mogul suffered in the crash which, his attorneys say, led to difficulties recalling the moments that led up to it. At noon, the neurologist was in the middle of testifying before the court. The doctor’s appearance in court comes after an emotionally charged day of testimony from witnesses aboard the boat, including friends of 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez, who was killed in the crash, and Pino’s wife, Cecilia Pino. During Tuesday’s testimony, Cecilia broke down into tears as she recalled the chaos that broke out in the immediate aftermath of the crash. “The whole time you’re in the water, did you even think about Mr. Pino?” the defense asked. “No. No, I didn’t,” an emotional Cecilia said. “I was just thinking of the girls.” Cecilia told jurors that she instructed the group of teenage girls on board of Pino’s 29-foot Robalo, who were celebrating his daughter’s birthday at Billy’s Point Sandbar, to jump into the water before the boat capsized after Pino struck a channel marker near Boca Chita Key. “When you first saw him, what did you see?” the attorney asked. “It was just a little head bobbing by the boat,” said Cecilia. Earlier on Tuesday, Pino’s defense team called to the stand Claudia Portocarrero and Natalia Reed, two young women who survived the crash. Both of them were childhood friends of Fernandez. “This is your friend Lucy, right?” the defense asked. “Yes,” said Portocarrero. “And you knew her for how long?” the defense asked. “My whole life, since I was 4,” said Portocarrero. In a defense of Pino, Portocarrero and Reed told the court that the crash came without warning. “Describe how that boat ride felt,” said the defense. “It felt like nothing out of the ordinary,” said Portocarrero. “Tell us about the speed of the boat,” the defense said. “I don’t remember feeling it going any faster than our past trips,” said Reed. State prosecutors have argued Pino was operating the vessel recklessly, alleging he was speeding and drinking at the time. Later on Tuesday, two good Samaritans testified in court about bringing Fernandez from the crash site to the dock and how Pino reacted in the aftermath. One of them, Angel Rodriguez, told jurors that Pino was not impaired. “When I was cleaning, I got, on purpose, close to him,” said Angel. “Did you notice an odor of alcoholic beverage coming from this person?” asked a defense attorney. “No, I didn’t. No,” said Angel. The other good Samaritan, Hamlet Rodriguez, said he arrived in his own boat after Pino’s vessel capsized and noticed Pino taking action to save Fernandez’s life. “When he went under the boat, he came out. He brought someone, and I jumped into the ocean right away, trying to help him. As soon as I approached him, he passed me the person. I have no idea who I was saving,” said Hamlet. Witness testimony is expected to continue Wednesday and Thursday. Closing arguments are set to begin on Monday.","author":"Matthew Garcia","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061726-pino-day-8-trial.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"george-pinos-defense-highlights-concussion-suffered-in-fatal-2022-boat-crash-as-trial-enters-8th-day"},{"id":"8crb7","title":"Feels-like temperatures soar above triple-digits leading to heat advisories across the region today","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"sports","publishDate":"2026-06-17T16:54:00.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/feels-like-temperatures-soar-above-triple-digits-leading-to-heat-advisories-across-the-region-on-wed/","archiveId":"g23p89","excerpt":"Heat advisories remain in effect across areas of Broward and Miami-Dade counties as feels-like temperatures soar well above the triple-digits leading to fears of heat-related illness.","content":"Heat advisories remain in effect across areas of Broward and Miami-Dade counties as feels-like temperatures soar well above the triple-digits leading to fears of heat-related illness.","author":"CBS Miami","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2F65e956f6-087c-4107-a89c-770a3d3e9677%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F6ca37102706f7892fb4be123ba2682d3%2F2c12d16a21bfc5776c673b1c664c4ff0.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"feels-like-temperatures-soar-above-triple-digits-leading-to-heat-advisories-across-the-region-today"},{"id":"70twdj","title":"3rd brush fire forms amid efforts to contain West Miami-Dade blazes; Krome Avenue closed from SW 8th St. to US 27","source":"WSVN 7 News","category":"safety","publishDate":"2026-06-17T16:50:55.000Z","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/3rd-brush-fire-forms-amid-efforts-to-contain-west-miami-dade-blazes-krome-avenue-closed-from-sw-8th-st-to-us-27/","archiveId":"iispr2","excerpt":"A third brush fire has formed near the site of two others that ignited earlier this week in West Miami-Dade, increasing already smoky conditions in the area and leading authorities to shut down Krome Avenue in both directions.

The most recent blaze broke out late Wednesday morning along the 14600 block of Northwest 185th Street in Northwest Miami-Dade, near Mile Marker 31 and Mack’s Fish Camp, on the east aide of U.S. 27, as the firefight entered its third day. 7Skyforce hovered above firefighters just after noon as they set back fires in an effort to contain the flames, which were burning perilously close to power lines. Authorities have shut down Krome Avenue in both directions between Southwest Eighth Street and U.S. 27. Officials have dubbed the two older fires, which started Monday afternoon, the Quarry and Well fires. As of noon on Wednesday, they have scorched about 8,000 acres, according to the Florida Forest Service. “Miami-Dade Fire Rescue crews continue to fight a large brush fire, which is basically now spread into two distinct fires that we’re battling,” said MDFR Operations Division Chief Michael Eng. The Quarry Fire is 30% contained, and the smaller Well Fire is 25% contained. Wednesday morning, cameras captured thick plumes of smoke billowing high into the sky, seen from miles away. That smoke is so thick in parts of Broward County, it nearly eclipsed the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino from view. In addition to reducing visibility and lowering air quality, the fires have caused ash to settle on cars in Miramar. From the ground to the air, firefighters continue working around the clock to keep these fires from growing. “With two air rescue helicopters, conducting operations in conjunction with Florida Forestry and the Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue Office helicopters as well,” said Eng. But with the winds shifting, officials said, the smoke can move quickly and conditions can change from one area to the next. “Reduced visibility. rapidly changing conditions and extreme temperatures can create hazardous driving environments,” said MDFR Chief of Staff Erika Benitez. “Fire behavior can become much more aggressive during periods of extreme heat, leading to rapidly changing smoke patterns and potentially impacting roadways that were previously clear.” And while the fires continue to burn, health experts warn the smoke can be more than just a nuisance. Breathing in those fine particles can cause serious health problems. especially for people with asthma or other respiratory issues. “Anytime you smell it, it means that there’s that small, fine particulate matter getting into your lungs,” said Dr. Eric Bassan with Memorial Healthcare.

Linda Maria Palacio, 41, faces charges of burglary of an occupied structure, grand theft and contributing to the delinquency of a child, according to a City of Miami Police arrest affidavit. Police said the theft occurred June 11 at Cadar Jewelry, located at 166 NE 39th St. The victim, an employee at the business, reported leaving her purse containing personal belongings, identification and financial cards in a restricted employee-only area while the store was under construction and closed to the public. When she returned, the purse was missing. Investigators reviewed surveillance video that allegedly showed Palacio and her juvenile son entering the restricted area through a rear entrance without authorization. Detectives said the pair went directly to the area where employees stored personal belongings, and video showed Palacio searching through the victim’s purse and holding open a backpack while the juvenile placed the stolen items inside. According to the affidavit, detectives determined Palacio actively participated in the theft and encouraged her son’s involvement in the crime rather than supervising him. During a post-Miranda interview, Palacio admitted being present but denied knowing her son was stealing the victim’s property, investigators said. A judge found probable cause and set a $500 bond on the charge of contributing to the delinquency of a child.","author":"Allyson Castillo","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2FPALACIO-LINDA.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"miami-mother-accused-of-helping-son-steal-purse-from-design-district-jewelry-store-police-say"},{"id":"gbuv5q","title":"Her ex racked up $7,000 of credit card debt, crumbling her finances.

But then the relationship turned abusive, she said. When she left her marriage, she found herself in financial distress, with her credit score tanking hundreds of points after her former husband used the credit card and didn't make payments. \"I never used the card that was issued,\" Juliette, who asked CBS News not to use her full name for personal safety reasons, said. But she now had close to $7,000 of debt in her name and no clear way to remove herself from their shared account. The bank wanted the couple to meet in person to dissolve the account, Juliette said, but she had an order of protection against her former husband and didn't want to be in the same room. \"There was an issue of safety,\" she said, adding she couldn't believe or understand how the bank didn't have a system in place to assist survivors of domestic abuse. She said she fled her former husband's home with her two children to live in a roach-filled apartment in the Bronx. She had no choice, she said, after her credit score fell from around 800 to 460. No other landlord would rent to her. Juliette has a story similar to thousands of domestic violence survivors — but states are beginning to enact legislation that could help them and other survivors of economic abuse. Legislation in New York, which was signed into law last year and goes into effect on Wednesday, will make it the eighth state to allow relief from coerced debt for survivors of domestic violence, elder abuse and human trafficking. Proponents of the law say that relief can be life changing. Opponents say the law can be ripe for abuse. New York's law was amended after pushback from financial institutions, narrowing the scope of relief. A spokesperson for the American Financial Services Association said the amendment closed the loopholes: \"A remedy built for legitimate survivors can't double as a roadmap for cheats.\"Half of domestic violence survivors are coerced into relatively small debts of up to $20,000, according to the Center for Survivor Agency and Justice, but the impact reverberates across their life. \"The rippling effects of coerced debt are quite vast,\" CSAJ Executive Director Erika Sussman told CBS News. Over the two decades that her organization has been advocating for economic rights for survivors, she has seen debt serve as a barrier to housing, employment, or transportation to work — all things needed for physical safety. \"It adds up and compounds over time,\" said Sussman. When money is tight, abuse can startLike so many other survivors of economic abuse, Juliette brushed aside her growing concerns about her husband's gambling problems. Instead, she focused on studying for her nursing degree and raising her teen son and college-age daughter in a brand new country. Widowed in Jamaica, she had followed her second husband to the United States six years after they started dating, eager for a new life. He would routinely place bets of $4,000, Juliette said, but his salary mostly covered his gambling. Then his debts started to outpace his earnings — and violence began, she said. \"Money got tight, and that is when the abuse really started,\" Juliette said. One night, while she was studying for a nursing exam, the couple got into a fight. She said that after her then-husband broke a chair and threatened her, she called the cops and decided to leave. A police officer gave her the phone number for Her Justice, a New York-based nonprofit that represents victims of violence, and advised her to call if she needed help. Juliette worked with a lawyer there who helped her file for divorce in 2018. \"I'd make arrangements to leave. And that's where it started,\" she said, recounting the difficulties she faced once she was on her own. The couple had property in common and an outstanding credit card. She and her attorney said her former husband didn't pay the credit card bills.Notices of late statements and bills started to arrive, and Juliette said she had no way of really knowing what was happening. \"I could not see the transactions, not get prompts on his late payments or get statements with the late payments,\" she said.Juliette said she was embarrassed to turn to her parents in Jamaica for help. For some, a clear economic path forwardAfter more than five years of litigation, Juliette and her former husband finalized their divorce in 2023 — and he was deemed responsible for the credit card debt. Her lawyer said they had tried to negotiate with the bank several times. The bank didn't have any reasonable systems to remove Juliette from the card, her lawyer said, which they hope the new law can address.\"The bank can and should go after the person who's rightfully responsible. So we've seen this a lot in the divorce. But what's new here is now, instead of doing it through the divorce, there's this other remedy that involves the banks directly,\" said Susanna Saul, director of legal services for Her Justice. The New York coerced debt law won't help Juliette because it will only apply to debt incurred for survivors after the effective date, June 17, but her hope is that sharing her story will raise awareness for others.Beyond New York, states like California, Texas, and Illinois have enacted similar measures, granting victims a mechanism to contest liabilities directly with banks. This shift allows survivors to bypass traditional court litigation, such as lengthy divorce proceedings, and seek relief by engaging with creditors.\"This is a critical issue and given the absence of protection at the federal level, states have really taken up the charge to protect survivors,\" Sussman said.New York-based survivors will now be able to challenge their debt directly with creditors. If they succeed, the creditor can go after the responsible party. \"So, the debt is not erased, but the survivor's liability is discharged,\" said Rachel Braunstein, policy director for Her Justice.After getting a Notice of Coerced Debt, the creditor must review the account, mark the debt \"disputed\" on credit reports and keep the survivor's contact info confidential. If the bank accepts the notice, the creditor must stop collecting from the survivor. Experts do share some concern about how banks will manage the requests. The survivors, however, can sue the creditor and also the alleged abuser if they fail to follow the law. Juliette has now graduated from nursing school. Her daughter graduated from college. Her son joined the military. And slowly, her credit is inching its way back up. Last she checked, she said, it was hovering in the 600s. \"I'm still able to do a lot of things to date, but the report still has it sitting there,\" she said.","author":"Cara  Tabachnick","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F05%2Fe993cbb5-0efb-42eb-8513-b071302d4bb8%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F4a4f8f577c3ea5832df4f3f360f27e8f%2Fgettyimages-2209661125.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"her-ex-racked-up-7000-of-credit-card-debt-crumbling-her-finances-now-a-new-law-could-require-abusers"},{"id":"zgcmvu","title":"Tropical Storm Arthur, the first of the Atlantic season, targets Gulf Coast with heavy rain","source":"WSVN 7 News","category":"arts","publishDate":"2026-06-17T15:06:22.000Z","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/us-world/tropical-storm-arthur-the-first-of-the-atlantic-season-targets-gulf-coast-with-heavy-rain/","archiveId":"gh5sa0","excerpt":"MIAMI (AP) — The first tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season formed Wednesday near the Gulf Coast, bringing intense rain and the threat of dangerous flash floods to states including Texas and Louisiana, meteorologists said.

Tropical Storm Arthur was a disorganized cluster of storms that brought rain for days over parts of eastern Mexico and the Gulf. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said conditions were conducive for a short-lived tropical storm to form. The center of Tropical Storm Arthur was located Wednesday morning about 40 miles (65 kilometers) east-northeast of Port O’Connor, Texas, according to an advisory. The storm was moving northeast near 9 mph (15 kph), and an increase in forward speed was expected. Arthur had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. Little change in strength is expected before the center moves over land, forecasters said. Weakening is anticipated once it moves inland, and it could dissipate by Wednesday night or early Thursday. Arthur was not expected to gain much wind strength as the center of the storm moved over land. But forecasters said that doesn’t mean the system will be weak. Life-threatening flash flooding and urban flooding were the main threats as Arthur skirted the Gulf Coast. The hurricane center said in its key messages that flooding was likely through Friday over parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and the Florida Panhandle. “Prolonged rainfall may extend the flood threat into the weekend,” National Hurricane Center director Michael Brennan said Tuesday. Tropical Storm Arthur is expected to produce rainfall totals of 5-10 inches (13-25 centimeters), with isolated higher totals near 20 inches (50 centimeters). This could generate dangerous flash flooding. The combination of storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline.

Flash flooding was the main threat from Arthur, a weak tropical storm that the National Hurricane Center in Miami said would be short-lived. Maximum sustained winds were around 40 mph (65 kph), with little change in strength forecast before it is expected to dissipate by Wednesday night or early Thursday. The storm hung over coastal Texas on the same day a World Cup match was being played between Portugal and the Democratic Republic of Congo in Houston. The stadium is covered, and no plans were announced to move or reschedule the match. National Hurricane Center director Michael Brennan said during a briefing that flash flood warnings were already being issued in the Houston metro area, with more likely to follow across the region, even after the center of the storm passes. “The main threat from Arthur is going to be a prolonged, multiday, heavy rainfall event that could produce dangerous to life threatening flash flooding,” Brennan said. A teenager appears to have drowned in a flooded retention pond outside Houston, authorities said Tuesday evening. A group of teens were playing near a construction zone and an adjacent retention pond when a 15-year-old boy entered the water, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said on social media. Rescue workers found his body using sonar technology following an extensive search. “This incident serves as a solemn reminder of the dangers associated with floodwaters, particularly following periods of heavy rainfall,” the post said.

(WSVN) — Researchers at the University of South Florida are trying to recover years of scientific work after a crack of lightning sparked a fire that destroyed a lab building on campus last month. Officials later determined a lightning strike ignited the fire that destroyed the marine science lab building at the USF campus in St. Petersburg. The fierce flames quickly engulfed the building. “The roof of the building was wooden, So it spread really quickly across the wooden roof of the fire,” said USF College of Marine Science professor Steven Murawski. Murawski, along with other professors in the College of Marine Science, said the fire destroyed years worth of research and tens of millions of dollars’ worth of equipment. “Things like sonar data that we use for mapping. Those vehicles were largely destroyed,” said Murawski. In the month since the fire happened, Murawski said more than 150 people have had to pivot their work and research to alternate locations. “Buildings like National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA is going to accommodate me and my students and others,” said Murawski. “The St. Petersburg Innovation District has a building called The Hub, and the people at The Hub have taken some of our people as well.” While the fire caused extensive damage to the lab building, Murawski said most of his research was salvaged. It’s been moved to a cold storage unit and multiple trailers in the parking lot. Other researchers weren’t as fortunate, with some having to go back out to collect new samples. In some cases, those samples are far from easy to replace. “It’s one thing to collect them from Tampa Bay, but we have samples from Antarctica,” said Murawski. Murawski said they’re still waiting to determine whether the building will need to be torn down. “Our real road block now is getting back to getting the instruments we need in order to analyze those samples. And it’s pretty critical, because a lot of these samples are being collected on relatively large grants by the federal government,” said Murawski. If the structure is salvageable, Murawski said it will likely still take years before researchers can resume their work inside. Several professors from USF said members of the community have stepped up in a big way to offer support, raising more than $500,000 for the recovery efforts.","author":"Matthew Garcia","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F061726-usf-lab-fire.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"researchers-try-to-recover-scientific-work-after-fire-caused-by-lightning-strike-destroyed-usf-lab-b"},{"id":"xii00k","title":"French Burger Icon PNY Takes Over Skinny Louie for One Day Only","source":"Community Newspapers","category":"arts","publishDate":"2026-06-17T13:34:21.000Z","url":"https://communitynewspapers.com/biscayne-bay/french-burger-icon-pny-takes-over-skinny-louie-for-one-day-only/","archiveId":"j4e1ki","excerpt":"On Thursday, June 25 in Coral Gables, Skinny Louie will host a one-day takeover by PNY (Paris New York), one of France’s most celebrated burger brands.

The accord, due to be signed in Switzerland on Friday, also envisions Iran receiving at least $300 billion to rebuild after the war and says the U.S. would work to end all American and United Nations sanctions imposed on Tehran — if a final agreement addressing Iran’s nuclear program is reached. The U.S. and Israel went to war on Feb. 28 in part to prevent Iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon — although U.S. President Donald Trump’s goals in the conflict have repeatedly shifted. The interim deal stops the war before that aim is secured — instead opening a two-month period for nuclear negotiations — and appears to offer Iran several benefits up front while extracting little in return. The U.S. agreement to immediately allow Iran to sell its oil freely and the offer to eventually lift all sanctions, for instance, represent major concessions that outstrip the terms of Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers that Trump withdrew America from in his first term, declaring it the “worst deal ever.” The accord likely will draw intense criticism in Washington — and appears to be a major setback for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is coming under intense criticism at home as the details emerge. The deal will stop the fighting and start more negotiations Much of the agreement would restore the status quo before the war, including ending hostilities, restarting negotiations between the U.S. and Iran over Tehran’s nuclear program, and reopening the strait, which is a crucial passage for the world’s oil and natural gas and whose closure created a historic energy crisis. The deal includes an end to the fighting in Lebanon between Israel and the Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah. That is one of the most delicate parts of the agreement because Israel has maintained it will continue to defend itself and to occupy vast swaths of Lebanon. Iran has said Israel must withdraw under the deal, although the leaked versions make no mention of withdrawal. A person who was briefed on the memorandum of understanding after it was signed and another who viewed a copy beforehand said it largely matched the text of what was published by the Saudi-owned broadcaster Al Arabiya, which reported details of the deal Tuesday. The two people spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions. Another two officials in the Mideast, who spoke on condition of anonymity for the same reason, also said the versions published by Al Arabiya and Bloomberg broadly matched the final agreement. The White House and other American officials have not published the terms and did not immediately respond to questions. However, White House communications director Steven Cheung wrote online Wednesday after CNN published a leaked version of the deal that it “does not reflect the language of the actual” agreement, without elaborating. Iran also has not published an official version of the deal. Iran’s semiofficial Tasnim news agency, close to its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, claimed Wednesday that Bloomberg’s version had missing portions, without offering a full accounting. Trump has cited various goals for the war, including at times vowing it would end Iran’s nuclear and missile programs and its support for Hezbollah and other proxy groups in the region. He also suggested it could lead to toppling the Iranian government. The interim deal falls short of all of these goals, but Trump hailed it Wednesday. “Nobody knows what it is but it’s very strong,” Trump said in France, where he is attending a Group of Seven summit. But he also opened the door to abandoning it: “It’s a memorandum of understanding and if I don’t like it, we’ll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs.” The deal provides major concessions to Iran Some concessions to Iran — including the full lifting of sanctions and the release of frozen assets — would happen gradually and be linked to progress in the nuclear talks, according to officials from Pakistan, a key mediator. They outlined some of the deal’s major points on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. But in the meantime, the U.S. will issue waivers to sanctions that allow Iran to sell oil freely. Iran’s main buyer of oil, China, is believed to have bought at below-market prices because of its willingness to ignore the sanctions. Granting oil waivers at the start of the 60-day talks strips the U.S. of a major point of leverage. Only at the conclusion of the overall deal in 2015 were sanctions on Iran’s oil lifted. The interim deal also opens the door to ending all sanctions Iran faces from the U.S. and at the U.N. — though it says the schedule for that will be worked out later. Still, that is far beyond the 2015 deal, which only lifted some sanctions in exchange for Iran drastically reducing its enrichment and stockpile of uranium. The accord would also provide Iran with at least $300 billion to rebuild after an intense U.S. and Israeli bombing campaign — an extraordinary figure and another major benefit for Iran. That also appears dependent on the progress of further negotiations. U.S. Vice President JD Vance has said Gulf Arab nations would invest that amount. Trump reiterated Wednesday that the U.S. would not contribute and said it was up to other countries if they wanted to invest. The deal would provide relief to the global economy The deal provides a major win for the global economy — the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which a fifth of all oil and natural gas traded once passed before the war began. Since then, Iranian attacks on shipping and the threat to vessels effectively shut the strait. The strait’s closure drove up energy prices around the world and made many basics, including food, more expensive. Iran let out some vessels that paid tolls, something never done before in the strait, which has long has been considered an international waterway. The U.S. later provided military support to get other tankers out, but traffic was nowhere near levels before the war. The deal also says the U.S. will lift a blockade imposed on Iranian ports and that the strait will return to its prewar traffic levels in 30 days, while acknowledging Iranian mines may need to be destroyed. The deal leaves much more to be resolved in future negotiations The interim deal sets a 60-day window, which can be extended, to negotiate over limiting Iran’s nuclear program, which has been discussed at multiple rounds of talks during Trump’s second administration without success. The U.S. promises not to make threats of military action under the current deal after two rounds of talks were interrupted by attacks. Iran maintains its nuclear program is peaceful, though it has enough highly enriched uranium to build multiple atomic bombs, should it choose to do so, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. In the interim deal, Iran reiterates that it will never build a nuclear weapon — a promise it also made in the 2015 nuclear accord.","author":"Rubén Rosario","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F05%2F05426-US-denies-Iran-struck-a-military-vessel-during-new-effort-to-reopen-Strait-of-Hormuz.jpg%3Fquality%3D60%26%23038%3Bstrip%3Dcolor","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"iran-will-reopen-the-strait-of-hormuz-and-can-sell-oil-freely-under-deal-with-the-us-officials-say"},{"id":"i1t4af","title":"Heat Advisory, Afternoon Storms, and Smoke Concerns Across South Florida","source":"WSVN 7 News","category":"safety","publishDate":"2026-06-17T12:10:10.000Z","url":"https://wsvn.com/weather-blog/heat-advisory-afternoon-storms-and-smoke-concerns-across-south-florida/","archiveId":"rp8nne","excerpt":"South Florida will once again deal with dangerous heat, scattered afternoon storms, and lingering wildfire smoke concerns today.

A Heat Advisory is in effect from Noon to 6 pm for Miami-Dade and Broward counties as heat index values climb between 104 and 108 degrees. High temperatures will reach the low to mid 90’s, while tropical humidity makes it feel much hotter. Residents are encouraged to stay hydrated, take frequent breaks if working outdoors, and limit strenuous activities during the hottest part of the day. Scattered storms are expected to develop this afternoon and early evening, with the greatest coverage across Broward and Palm Beach counties. Some storms could produce heavy downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning. Isolated areas of street flooding will be possible where storms linger. Another concern today is smoke from the Quarry 2 and Well Fires burning in Western Miami-Dade. Southerly winds will continue pushing smoke North and Northeast, creating hazy skies and potentially reducing air quality across portions of Miami-Dade and Broward. Sensitive groups, including those with respiratory conditions, should monitor air quality and limit prolonged outdoor exposure if smoke becomes noticeable. Looking ahead, South Florida remains in a typical Summer pattern through the rest of the week with daily afternoon storms, above-average temperatures, and heat index values reaching 105 degrees or higher. Tropics Update Potential Storm One continues moving along the Texas coast and could still become the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season later today. Tropical Storm Warnings remain in effect for portions of Texas and Louisiana. Regardless of development, the main concern is for significant flooding rainfall, with widespread totals of 5 to 10 inches and isolated amounts approaching 20 inches possible from Texas into Louisiana and portions of the central Gulf Coast. Have a wonderful day South Florida and make it a safe one!

Suddenly, any questions about Messi's hamstring injury, or whether he could help Argentina become the third team to win consecutive World Cups — even as his 39th birthday approaches next week — had been answered. With a brilliant hat trick in a 3-0 win over Les Fennecs, Messi moved into a tie with Germany's Miroslav Klose for the career scoring record at the Men's World Cup.Lionel Messi. right, celebrates the third goal in his first World Cup hat trick with Argentina teammate Rodrigo De Paul in Kansas City Stadium on June 16, 2026. Tom Weller / picture alliance via Getty Images \"My tears after the first goal? I've had some tough days. It wasn't related to football. And those feelings were because of that,\" Messi said afterward, without elaborating. \"I thank my teammates, the coaching staff and the delegation for helping me.\" Messi scored that emotional first goal in the opening minutes on a nifty feed from Inter Miami teammate Rodrigo De Paul, the second off an opportunistic rebound early in the second half, and the third on a crisp strike moments before subbing out to a standing ovation from a crowd of 69,045 tilted heavily toward the three-time World Cup champions. \"At a loss for words about Leo. What can I say?\" Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni said. \"He's incredible.\"Messi records abound His incredible trio of goals came 20 years to the day that Messi made his World Cup debut in a match against Serbia and Montenegro — he scored in that one, too — and made the pride of Rosario only the second player to score in five editions of the men's tournament. Messi has 16 goals in his record six World Cup appearances overall, and it seems inevitable that Klose's record will fall in the coming weeks. The hat trick was the 61st of Messi's career, his 11th while playing in his national team colors and his first in the World Cup. It also was the fifth straight World Cup game in which Messi has scored. \"It makes me very happy to have lived through everything that came my way. What I'm living though now is the cherry on top,\" Messi said. \"I'm very happy an grateful for this wonderful group. I enjoy it so much.\" Messi upstaged two of soccer's other stars - Kylian Mbappé of France and Erling Haaland of Norway — who had big games of their own on Tuesday. Mbappé scored twice in France's 3-1 win over Senegal to move into a tie for fourth on the men's World Cup goals list with 14, while Haaland scored twice for Norway in its 4-1 victory over Iraq. \"Messi is a madman,\" Haaland said in a post on Snapchat during Argentina's game. Messi had been dealing with a minor hamstring injury with Inter Miami that slowed him in the lead-up to the World Cup. But the eight-time winner of the Ballon d'Or, which honors global soccer's best player, had no problems in a tuneup last week with Iceland, scoring on a penalty kick while playing 20 minutes in a sharp performance.A career marked by greatness — and longevity \"This is my sixth World Cup, and I still feel like I'm in good shape,\" Messi said. \"Fortunately, I'm doing well, and today we managed to win a tough match. It's important to start the tournament with a victory in the first game, as that's never easy in a World Cup.\" Messi's appearance against Algeria was the 200th of his international career, which began in 2005 at age of 18. The only players with more are Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, who will play his 229th on Wednesday, and Bader al-Mutawa, who played in 202 for Kuwait. Messi and Ronaldo are the only men to have scored in five World Cups. \"Class is permanent,\" Algeria coach Vladimir Petkovic said. \"He's fortunate to have the privilege that the entire Argentina team works for him, and supports him, and for a number of years now — decades — he's done incredible things.\" Argentina is among four national teams making their base camps in the Kansas City metro. And much as it has the rest of the world, Messi-mania has swept through the area ever since La Albiceleste's arrival in the Heartland about two weeks ago. On match day, thousands of fans wearing his No. 10 jersey trekked into the home of the NFL's Chiefs on the outskirts of Kansas City, singing odes to their hero. Meanwhile, during a watch party at the downtown Power & Light District, a goat accompanied by former NFL quarterback-turned Fox broadcaster Jameis Winston came on stage wearing an Argentina jersey. The humorous moment seemed to have foreshadowed a big night for Messi when he scored an hour later, and the argument that he's soccer's GOAT - the greatest of all time - is becoming no argument at all with every match he plays. \"It's an advantage to have Leo because of how he handles the group and pushes it forward. Because of who he is,\" De Paul said. \"He doesn't care about individual records. He prioritizes the group, and for us it's incredible.\"","author":"CBS Miami","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2F896175e6-c372-47ed-98f2-8053589117fc%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F1bb878e0bc51b807de0351942d5e90ee%2Fgettyimages-2281377569.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"messi-ties-mens-world-cup-goals-record-with-first-world-cup-hat-trick-as-argentina-tops-algeria"},{"id":"mks43i","title":"ER vs. urgent care: How your choice impacts your wallet","source":"Community Newspapers","category":"food","publishDate":"2026-06-17T10:03:16.000Z","url":"https://communitynewspapers.com/biscayne-bay/er-vs-urgent-care-how-your-choice-impacts-your-wallet/","archiveId":"5kekcf","excerpt":"Florida summers aren’t just hot – they are getting hotter.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials fear the fire could grow to 12,000 acres given its location and the current dry conditions.\"It's burning pretty good. It's got a lot of space to burn,\" said Kevin MacEwen of the Florida Forest Service. \"If we don't get some rain on it, it's going to burn for a few days and get much bigger than that.\"The Well wildfire has scorched about 450 acres and was only 10% contained.The Quarry 2 brush fire broke out Monday around 3 p.m. just west of Doral, near Northwest 137th Avenue and Northwest 41st Street. Dozens of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and Florida Forest Service responded to the scene to fight the blaze.Smoke and flames are seen from the Quarry 2 wildfire in west Miami-Dade. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue When crews arrived, they were met with heavy smoke and flames in the area. Additional crews were immediately requested to the area, including tankers and a water tender truck.\"We had both air rescue units out here earlier today using what we call the Bambi bucket, which they can fill with 300 gallons of water. They fly over the big portions of fire and then release it in order to knock it down,\" MDFR Chief Rogelio Vandamas said.Mauryne Revera, who was driving nearby, said, \"This is my first time seeing something like this.\" Revera described seeing a tower of smoke and feeling frightened by its size.The fire continued to spread, with flames and smoke seen close to Metro West Detention Center.Aerial images revealed flames rapidly consuming multiple acres of land, with one section burning perilously close to a group of power lines.Well wildfire erupted just 24 hours after in the same areaAbout 24 hours after the Quarry 2 wildfire broke out, a smaller wildfire started burning dozens of acres near NW 122nd Avenue and 58th Street, west of the Turnpike. It was dubbed the \"Well\" wildfire by Florida Forest Service. State officials first reported it at 12:08 p.m. on Tuesday. The Miami-Dade Fire Rescue confirmed both fires on a post on X, warning residents near the areas that they \"may see or smell smoke.\"\"If you see or smell smoke in your area, keep your home and vehicle windows closed and set A/C systems to recirculate. These precautions are especially important for individuals with respiratory conditions,\" MDFR wrote. Florida Forest Service officials believe the fire was sparked by a lightning strike earlier in the week. No structures seem to be affected, just smoke, fire, and ash. Crews are primarily using aerial support—including helicopters from Miami-Dade, Broward and the Forest Service—to combat the flames, as limited ground access makes the fire difficult to fight.\"The ground is too wet to put our equipment in and operate safely,\" MacEwen said. \"Getting stuck with the active fire in the block is dangerous\".Winds from the south have pushed smoke into Broward County, leaving a haze over Pompano Beach.\"When I woke up this morning, I thought there was a fire in my neighborhood,\" said Pompano Beach resident Karen Powsner. \"I wasn't sure, so I even took the road straight down to see where the smoke was coming from, but I didn't see where it was coming from\".Warning of health concerns for residents due to smoke and ashThe Quarry and Well wildfires continue to create challenges for firefighters and health concerns for residents as smoke drifts across South Florida. \"Smoke can travel for miles impacting air quality. Smoke from brush fires contains small particles and some pollutants that can affect your overall health but especially your lungs,\" said MDFR's Erika Benitez.Officials urged people near the smoke to keep doors and windows closed and remain inside. Authorities also asked the public to avoid the area as firefighters work overnight to extinguish the blaze.Dr. Eric Basan, assistant medical director for emergency services at Memorial Hospital, warned that \"if you can smell the smoke, that means it's entering into your lungs.\" He said older adults, young children, and people with asthma, COPD or chronic bronchitis are especially vulnerable to the effects of wildfire smoke. Fire officials are urging residents to take precautions. \"Just limit your time outdoors,\" said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Operations Division Chief Michael Eng. \"If you're inside, please shut the doors and keep your windows closed.\" Health experts also recommend wearing a KN95 mask if you have a pre-existing respiratory condition and must spend time outside.","author":"CBS Miami  Team","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F16%2Ff74308f5-0e6c-43d3-85b3-aaae6fd3ead0%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F95c6106a7bd986a9a5e2bfe3d9574ec5%2Fcbsmiami-everglades-doral-fires-main-1.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"crews-now-battling-2-everglades-wildfires-near-doral-as-thick-smoke-and-ash-impact-air-quality"},{"id":"ckmak2","title":"South Florida set to bring dangerous heat in the triple digits","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"sports","publishDate":"2026-06-17T03:45:00.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/south-florida-set-to-bring-dangerous-heat-in-the-triple-digits/","archiveId":"ak40vb","excerpt":"While South Florida is no stranger to heat, Thursday's heat comes during a stretch of hotter-than-normal days, with little overnight relief and fewer afternoon storms expected to cool things down.","content":"While South Florida is no stranger to heat, Thursday's heat comes during a stretch of hotter-than-normal days, with little overnight relief and fewer afternoon storms expected to cool things down.","author":"CBS Miami","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2F54d52048-f8c5-4bb6-a671-8da5ffcad9d3%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fc6f871d76b87bce5cc783d2894350114%2F286c3c72defad65b27a0f9592bffc86e.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"south-florida-set-to-bring-dangerous-heat-in-the-triple-digits"},{"id":"er8ali","title":"NEXT Weather Alert: Dangerous heat coming into South Florida, with Thursday reaching 110 degrees","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"arts","publishDate":"2026-06-17T03:43:24.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/next-weather-alert-dangerous-heat-coming-into-south-florida/","archiveId":"nc9euc","excerpt":"The NEXT Weather team is issuing a NEXT Weather Alert for midday Thursday as feels-like temperatures climb higher.

Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin later told CBS News the agency didn't have any near-term plans to close the facility. But he acknowledged it faces weather-related \"vulnerabilities.\"\"We have plans in case of a natural emergency such as a wildfire or hurricane, to have to be able to bring it down and pull the individuals out,\" Mullin said.Located on an unused airstrip in the middle of the Everglades, Alligator Alcatraz was opened last year, as the Trump administration sought to rapidly grow ICE's detention capacity in order to surge arrests and deportations. Detainees at the makeshift facility were housed in large air conditioned tents, filled with rows of bunk beds and cells formed by chain-link fences.The administration has cast Alligator Alcatraz as a cost-effective way of housing people accused of being in the U.S. illegally, and argued it could be a model for other immigration detention centers set up by states. Some officials have also suggested Alligator Alcatraz austere setup and harsh surroundings could be a deterrent against illegal immigration. During a visit last summer, President Trump said, \"We're going to teach them how to run away from an alligator if they escape prison.\" And former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem delivered a warning that people in the U.S. illegally who do not \"self-deport\" from the country \"may end up here.\"Alligator Alcatraz drew intense criticism and legal pushback from immigration advocates, environmental groups and a local Native American tribe. Critics alleged inhumane conditions, including poor food, nonfunctional toilets and a lack of access to attorneys. The Trump administration has denied that conditions at the detention center were inadequate.","author":"Camilo  Montoya-Galvez","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F05%2F07%2F754bb2fc-ecc8-4356-ae54-656011f12f8c%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F89a644e16adf910a6e9d7ec28be9d289%2Fsnapshot-3.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"detainees-moved-out-of-alligator-alcatraz-over-hurricane-concerns-ice-says"},{"id":"px8kdg","title":"Defense in George Pino's deadly boat crash trial presents its case with emotional testimony from survivors","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"safety","publishDate":"2026-06-17T03:22:00.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/day-7-george-pino-deadly-boat-crash-trial-defense-testimony/","archiveId":"7rxyth","excerpt":"The defense in the boat crash trial of Miami real estate broker George Pino neared the end of its case Wednesday, with emotional testimony from Pino's wife and teenage survivors of the 2022 deadly boat crash.

The testimony on Day 7 of the trial comes after the state rested its case Tuesday. Pino is facing charges stemming from the Sept. 4, 2022, crash, when his vessel struck a channel marker while carrying 12 teenage girls and two adults returning from an 18th birthday celebration. The crash resulted in the death of 17-year-old Lucy Fernandez.Two of Fernandez's friends, Claudia Porto Carrero and Natalia Reid, took the stand to recount the moments leading up to and immediately following the impact. Both testified that while the teenagers were celebrating, dancing, and singing, they did not see Pino consuming alcohol that day.Reid testified that she consumed two or three alcoholic beverages at the Billy's Point sandbar but did not feel impaired. Porto Carrero, a relative of Pino, stated she drank a beer and a seltzer.Porto Carrero described the chaotic aftermath of the collision to the courtroom, stating that when she opened her eyes, she saw Pino covered in blood.\"The first thing I saw after I opened my eyes was George. And I thought he was dead,\" Porto Carrero said. \"I saw a lot of blood gushing.\"George Pino's wife provided emotional testimony as the only other adult aboard the boatCecilia Pino, the defendant's wife and the only other adult aboard the boat, provided emotional testimony about her attempts to save the teenagers despite sustaining a gash to her own forehead.\"I wasn't thinking of Mr. Pino,\" she said when asked about the immediate aftermath. \"I was just thinking of the girls.\" She added that when she finally located her husband in the water, he appeared as \"a little head bobbing by the boat.\"During an aggressive cross-examination, prosecutors pressed Cecilia Pino on inconsistencies in her previous statements and accused her of trying to shield her husband from liability during the investigation. The state also questioned her regarding family vacations taken in the months following the fatal accident.\"It wasn't your daughter who died as a result of this crash, was it?\" the prosecutor asked.\"No,\" Pino replied.\"It was Lucy's family who lost a child. Not yours! Correct?\" the prosecutor asked.\"Correct,\" Pino said.The defense also called a maritime navigation expert to the stand Wednesday. The expert testified that tidal conditions on the day of the 2022 crash differed significantly from the conditions present during the state's subsequent re-enactment of the incident.Defense attorneys informed the judge they expect to conclude their arguments by the end of Thursday.","author":"Ana Maria  Soler","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F17%2Fd37f2438-89f1-4ab9-962e-43d8631166e3%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Faa047c4c424b4138a061a91ccf135556%2Fgeorge-pino-day-7-testimony.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"defense-in-george-pinos-deadly-boat-crash-trial-presents-its-case-with-emotional-testimony-from-surv"},{"id":"m5ysdc","title":"Messi mania sweeps across South Florida as Argentina beats Algeria 3-0 in World Cup","source":"WSVN 7 News","category":"arts","publishDate":"2026-06-17T03:13:09.000Z","url":"https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/messi-mania-sweeps-across-south-florida-as-argentina-beats-algeria-3-0-in-world-cup/","archiveId":"elihsd","excerpt":"From the streets of North Beach to downtown Miami’s FIFA Fan Fest and the streets of Buenos Aires, fans came together to root for Messi and Argentina in their first match of the 2026 World Cup.

Revelers at watch parties packed with Argentinean passion observed Tuesday’s big match between Argentina and Algeria. Lifelong fans to the newest fans all sported light blue jerseys. “It’s very amazing, it’s incredible,” said a fan. On the night of the big game, Miami Beach became Messi Beach, as Argentina fans packed the Miami Beach restaurant Manolo to show support for their country. There were so many fans on hand that several of them had to watch from outside of the restaurant. “We saw this guy right here, this guy, he’s the owner of the van, we came to Manolo, we didn’t get to go in. So there he comes with the van, so we all sat out here to watch the game,” said a fan. It didn’t take long for fans to be beaming with pride as Messi scored the first of three goals at the 17-minute mark. For Argentineans, soccer isn’t just a game, but a way of life. “It’s my life, it’s the best in the world,” said a fan. “Everyone in Argentina are fanatics,” said another fan. That passion is what helps these fans come together. In downtown Miami, fans at a packed Bayfront Park celebrated Messi’s first goal in what could be his final World Cup appearance. “Messi’s the best there ever was. I watched him play in Barcelona for three years; ut was incredible watching him play,” said a fan. Messi went on to score a hat trick, bringing him into a tie with Germany’s Miroslav Klose for the most career goals in the World Cup with 16, and leading Argentina to a 3-0 victory over Algeria.","author":"Jayme Berezdivin","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2F61626-Argentina-Watch-Party.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"messi-mania-sweeps-across-south-florida-as-argentina-beats-algeria-3-0-in-world-cup"},{"id":"943la2","title":"Surveillance video shows moments of explosion at Miami-Dade Fire Rescue logistics facility, leaving 1 dead, 4 injured","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"safety","publishDate":"2026-06-17T02:56:03.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/surveillance-video-miami-dade-fire-rescue-logistics-explosion/","archiveId":"shphjb","excerpt":"Newly released surveillance video captured the moments surrounding a deadly explosion at a Miami-Dade Fire Rescue logistics facility, an incident that left one person dead and four others injured.The explosion occurred shortly after 10 a.m. Monday at the facility located at 6100 SW 87th Avenue, acco","content":"Newly released surveillance video captured the moments surrounding a deadly explosion at a Miami-Dade Fire Rescue logistics facility, an incident that left one person dead and four others injured.The explosion occurred shortly after 10 a.m. Monday at the facility located at 6100 SW 87th Avenue, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office.

He had served as the police chief for Doral since 2023.Outlining his goals, Lopez stressed the importance of crime reduction and community engagement. He said, \"My priorities are crime reduction, community engagement, and getting to know the officers of this department. I lead from the front, not the desk or the office. So I am out in police cars trying to understand the culture so that we can collectively try to bring that out. Getting our officers to engage the community is the most important thing.\"Lopez said he had a track record for transparency and has always had \"good relations with the media.\"He said, \"We are collaborating with a lot of agencies, and my priority is to continue what we have been doing with this well-oiled machine, but with minor tweaks in terms of my personality.\"Miami Mayor Eileen Higgins praised the new chief, stating that Lopez believes there is \"no difference between public safety and public trust\" and that he understands that he needs to bring both strength and compassion to the role.Reflecting on his path to the position, Lopez expressed his gratitude for the support of his mentors and family.\"It takes a village to raise a child. I am just a humble kid from Miami with no money, with immigrant parents that has risen now to be chief of police of the Magic City, and for me, I am eternally grateful. The job comes with a lot of responsibility, but I would not have gotten this job on my own. It takes the support of the family. It takes mentors and coaches and people who have played a pivotal role in my life,\" he said.","author":"Peter  D'Oench","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F16%2F224bfe75-28cb-45ab-8cc9-6da4dc1c6397%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F6483ed422cded19af8026e570f8bd6a2%2Fsnapshot-7.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"miami-polices-edwin-lopez-says-becoming-the-citys-newest-police-chief-fulfills-a-childhood-dream"},{"id":"hyrnyu","title":"Record Heat","source":"WSVN 7 News","category":"safety","publishDate":"2026-06-16T23:35:06.000Z","url":"https://wsvn.com/weather-blog/record-heat-6/","archiveId":"7u843b","excerpt":"We’ve all been feeling the strong heat in recent days.

On Tuesday, the high soared to 95-degrees in Miami and enough for the record books (tying the record high)! Most of Miami-Dade and Broward County was also under a Heat Advisory much of the day (expiring at 6 pm). Along with the heat and humidity has been an abundance of Smoke. It’s derived from a large Brush Fire (in western Miami-Dade) with far-reaching impacts on air quality. Alerts may be necessary, at times, as improvement won’t come fast enough. Part of the problem is that winds are pushing the smoke plume north and northeast. Therefore, smoky impacts are spreading directly into Broward County while the smell of smoke is evident virtually everywhere north of the actual fire. Looking ahead to Wednesday, it’s a similar situation with hot and smoky conditions, along with a light breeze. With the southerly flow intact, the smoke will shift north (as seen in the graphic below). Here’s a “weather map view” and what’s prompting our sticky situation. High Pressure is “directing the show” as it persists over the western Atlantic. The High will tend to get a little stronger from Wednesday night into Thursday. That will do us a few favors, including a better breeze (southeast) and a Drier shift. In fact, Thursday is forecast to be the driest day of the stretch. However, in the 7-day rain forecast (below) you can see a retreat higher. Chances will soon be back to Typical for this time of year. As we enter the home stretch of the week, we have the arrival of important Holidays. After Juneteenth, Friday, the weekend goal will be to “keep Dad cool” as heat lingers into Father’s Day, Sunday. Finally, we’re keeping a watch on the Tropics and what could be the first tropical storm of the 2026 Atlantic season. The National Hurricane Center has dubbed a disturbance, over south Texas, Potential Storm #1. As of this writing, it’s simply a disorganized weather feature about to skirt the Texas coastline. Depending on the track (and access to nearby water) we may see a strengthening spin that brings increased wind and rain to the Gulf coast. While not yet classified as a tropical system, there’s a forecast track and updates from the NHC. All told, the system is likely to move back over land late Wednesday, so any depression or storm would be brief. Heavy flooding rains, though, could cause major issues for the region.","author":"Brent Cameron","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2FBlog-1-10.png%3Fw%3D1024","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"record-heat"},{"id":"dn982r","title":"Iran World Cup team was ordered out of U.S. right after first match, coach says","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"safety","publishDate":"2026-06-16T23:25:55.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/iran-world-cup-team-coach-says-team-ordered-out-of-us-right-after-first-match-amir-ghalenoei/","archiveId":"uegnmc","excerpt":"Inglewood, Calif. — The coach of Iran's World Cup team said it was ordered to leave the U.S. and return to its training base in Mexico only a few hours after opening its politically charged tournament by playing to a 2-2 draw with New Zealand on Monday night.Coach Amir Ghalenoei didn't say who","content":"Inglewood, Calif. — The coach of Iran's World Cup team said it was ordered to leave the U.S. and return to its training base in Mexico only a few hours after opening its politically charged tournament by playing to a 2-2 draw with New Zealand on Monday night.Coach Amir Ghalenoei didn't say who ordered the Iranians to leave earlier than planned. The team had expected to spend the night in California to maximize the normal recovery process after its opening game, only to be told after the match that everyone must immediately get on a plane for the 140-mile trip back to Tijuana. \"They didn't even give us time to recover,\" Ghalenoei said through an interpreter. \"After the game today, they said to us, 'You have to leave immediately.' It's very important for us to have time for recovery, (but) we are asked to get on a plane and return to our camp in Tijuana, and we are really troubled by that.\"Speaking to CBS News on Monday, Andrew Giuliani, the executive director of the White House's World Cup task force, said that Iran's team would be allowed to enter the U.S. one day before each match, but would be required to leave on the evening of their matches. \"The team will be allowed to come in match day minus one, so the day before the match,\" Giuliani, the son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, said. \"They'll be asked to leave the day the match wraps up, so the evening of the match. And they'll be able to do that again in Los Angeles, and they'll be able to do it again in Seattle. And that if they qualify for the next round, for the round of 32, they'll be able to do that again.\" Giuliani told The Associated Press on Tuesday that \"we were clear this was the process.\"Meanwhile, Iran winger Mehdi Torabi's entry visa had expired after the first game. Team officials confirmed Tuesday afternoon that they had secured him a new, multiple-entry visa allowing him to travel into the U.S. for future matches.\"This issue has been resolved,\" the State Department said Tuesday. \"As soon as we became aware of the issue, we worked to ensure that the player can participate in every game.\"The Iranians' World Cup cycle has been in upheaval since the U.S. and Israel began a war against Iran on Feb. 28. Iran ultimately decided to compete even after FIFA rejected its request to move its three group-stage matches out of the U.S.Shahriyar Moghanlou, #20 of Iran, and Finn Surman, #16 of New Zealand, compete for the ball during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group G match on June 15, 2026 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. The teams played to a 2-2 draw. Karl Anderson / Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Iran captain Mehdi Taremi said the team endured five hours of travel and security checks during what's normally a very short trip from Tijuana to the Los Angeles area on Sunday. \"We don't know why they are returning us, to be honest,\" Ghalenoei said. \"I think it's very strange. It seems like others are doing the planning for us. The decision-making for us is being made elsewhere. We were supposed to come two nights before the game, and we were supposed to stay tonight to recover and return tomorrow at lunchtime. We have no idea why. \"I think our team is perhaps the most oppressed in the World Cup.\" Taremi and Ghalenoei both decried the team's lack of many important staff members — including the president of Iran's football federation, coaching support personnel and media officials — who were denied visas by the U.S., amplifying the team's difficult preparations. \"We have to leave Los Angeles right now, and it's not good for us,\" Taremi said about an hour after the match. \"I think FIFA have to help us more than this. ... Everything is like a disaster, actually, for us.\" Ghalenoei said several players developed cramps during the game, which was played in mild conditions. He attributed the injury problems to the lack of proper preparation time caused by Iran's bureaucratic and diplomatic obstacles. \"Before the game, I said we haven't had time to adjust because of the travel,\" Ghalenoei said. \"Many of our players, they had cramps, and that's why we had to substitute them. So it wasn't for technical reasons that we made substitutions. It was because of the injury and because of the cramp. They will be examined (Tuesday) by our technical staff, but the fact they delayed our arrivals and they are forcing us to go back early without time for recovery, they are making the situation more difficult.\" The Iranians' remaining two games in group stage play are against Belgium in Inglewood on Sunday, followed by a trip to Seattle to face Egypt next week. Iran opened its World Cup with a disappointing draw to a team ranked 65 places lower in FIFA's rankings. Yet the Iranians also overcame two deficits in an exciting match, getting the tying goal from Mohammad Mohebi in the 64th minute before a strongly pro-Iranian crowd at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles, which has the world's largest population of Iranians outside Iran. The game was played in a crackling atmosphere created in part by a conflicted, diasporic fan base which remains furious with the current Iranian government but is still largely supportive of Team Melli.Iran fans applaud for their team after a 2-2 draw between Iran and New Zealand in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group G match on June 15, 2026 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. Matthew Childs / REUTERS While several hundred Iranian Americans protested the government outside, many fans from the diaspora jeered and turned their backs on the field during the national anthem. Dozens of Lion and Sun emblems — the centerpiece of Iran's official flag before 1979 — were displayed in the crowd despite FIFA's attempts to keep them away, while dozens more fans wore the Lion and Sun emblems on T-shirts. Yet the vast majority of the crowd vocally supported the Iranian players once the match kicked off. \"It was an incredible atmosphere in the game, all 90 minutes,\" Taremi said. \"It was like at home for us.\" Elijah Just scored early in each half for New Zealand, but Iran responded twice with a pair of beautiful goals, including Mohebi's header off a perfect pass from Ramin Rezaeian, who had scored off the side of his boot in the first half. Mohebi appeared to mime the shooting of a gun after his goal, setting off criticism online. He also made the now-ubiquitous \"ice in my veins\" gesture originated 10 miles away from SoFi Stadium by Los Angeles Lakers rookie D'Angelo Russell a decade ago, before he held up a heart to the cheering fans. \"The Iranians who live in Los Angeles, they make a great atmosphere,\" Mohebi said. \"That celebration, it comes in the mind, and I did like this\" — motioning to his arm — \"for all the fans. Just a celebration.\" Players from both teams embraced and shook hands after the final whistle, with at least one jersey swap occurring. While Ghalenoei sat by himself in the dugout, his players gathered together and walked around the field applauding their remaining thousands of flag-shaking, roaring fans. Both of Iran's next two matches are tougher on paper, endangering their chances of getting out of the World Cup group stage for the first time. Iran, Belgium, Egypt and New Zealand have one point apiece after the opening round. \"We're facing more hurdles, but we're not going to let that stop us from doing our best,\" Ghalenoei said. \"I think today was one of the best games in the World Cup so far, and I think the fans really enjoyed it inside the stadium and outside the stadium.\"","author":"CBS Miami","localScore":80,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F16%2Fac03d408-1278-4708-bd1f-98b70481bd84%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fe14c7c6113fdc550c646370e605cc165%2F2026-06-16t031649z-2028642584-up1em6g08wag6-rtrmadp-3-soccer-worldcup-irn-nzl.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"iran-world-cup-team-was-ordered-out-of-us-right-after-first-match-coach-says"},{"id":"m3kw7q","title":"FIFA fans disappointed in security protocols at Miami Stadium for the World Cup","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"miami","publishDate":"2026-06-16T23:22:00.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/video/fifa-fans-disappointed-in-security-protocols-at-miami-stadium-for-the-world-cup/","archiveId":"d4q765","excerpt":"Fans are expressing their disappointment in security at Miami Stadium.","content":"Fans are expressing their disappointment in security at Miami Stadium.","author":"CBS Miami","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F16%2F40d19561-4ff5-49ab-83fb-01ed853f1d4f%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F8c805c35521f74e6a0e406b69b03d4aa%2F1af08ea48ac7bd3b8e35f7681666437c.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"fifa-fans-disappointed-in-security-protocols-at-miami-stadium-for-the-world-cup"},{"id":"95skjz","title":"Miami-Dade County moves to acquire PortMiami's sole fuel depot, initiating a legal battle","source":"CBS4 Miami","category":"real-estate","publishDate":"2026-06-16T23:18:07.000Z","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/miami-dade-port-miami-fuel-depot-acquisition-vote-june-16-2026/","archiveId":"vqgwxj","excerpt":"Miami-Dade County has initiated a significant legal challenge regarding the site of PortMiami's sole fuel source for ships, with commissioners voting to acquire the land on Fisher Island through eminent domain.The county's move to use the government's power to take private property for public benefi","content":"Miami-Dade County has initiated a significant legal challenge regarding the site of PortMiami's sole fuel source for ships, with commissioners voting to acquire the land on Fisher Island through eminent domain.The county's move to use the government's power to take private property for public benefit comes after the nearly 10-acre site was sold to a private developer last year.Deputy Mayor Roy Coley addressed the oversight regarding the property acquisition, pointing to internal staff decisions. \"What's worth noting is that there are 29,000 employees in the county who make thousands of flawless decisions every day,\" Coley said. \"Occasionally, they make a mistake. They should have called the boss, but they didn't.\"The administration of Mayor Daniella Levine Cava rejected a reported deal to pay the new owner $400 million in port revenue, a figure more than double the purchase price paid by the developer just months ago.When asked about the timeline of her awareness regarding the proposed price, the mayor noted, \"I've been apprised of the negotiations but not at that level of detail because it was still an ongoing conversation.\"Commissioner Oliver Gilbert defended the vote, citing the developer's stance. \"These folks that bought this property with the understanding that we needed it and then they held it hostage,\" Gilbert said. \"There are courts for that, so if they can't negotiate a lower price, then we will just have a court and jury tell us what it's worth.\"The property's owner, HRP Group, which planned to develop the site into a project called One Fisher Island, vowed to contest the acquisition. In a statement, CEO Roberto Perez said, \"HRP will aggressively fight this unconstitutional seizure of our property, and we will build One Fisher Island.

Hours after the match between Uruguay and Saudi Arabia ended in a draw, many fans took to social media to complain about their transportation nightmare getting into the stadium. “We’ve been here for an hour and there’s still no school bus. Probably the worst setup I’ve ever seen,” said Jonathan Odom in a video on social media. Odom was among thousands of fans who were stranded in line for hours. “Tons of fans had to start watching the games on their phones because they weren’t able to get to the stadium on time,” said Cata Balzano in a social media video. “We have to wait to get on these buses because we were told we can’t walk.” said a fan named William. Fans without parking passes were required to board shuttle buses to gain access to Miami Stadium, creating major delays and causing some fans to miss a majority of the match. “We just made it and just so you guys calculate, they’re already at halftime. So we missed half the match,” said Balzano. “It was moving out of pace that I was like it’s gonna be close to game time and it was. We missed the first kick and we missed all the pregame stuff, which I really wanted to see,” said Odom. But once fans were inside the stadium, things changed. Odom said despite the issues, the wait was worth it at the end. “Once I got inside it was one of the best experiences I’ve had, but it was like it could’ve been so much better if the leading up process was a little bit better,” said Odom. Odom was one of 65,000 Saudi Arabia and Uruguay fans who had stadium seats to the match. “Everybody’s dancing, everybody was cheering. One way or the other, didn’t matter. Everybody was having a good time,” said soccer fan Paola Moya. “It was one of the most fun I’ve ever had at any sporting event. The atmosphere was crazy,” he said. In a statement, officials from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said: “MDSO did not experience any operational issues at our security checkpoints. As previously communicated through our advisories and social media platforms, gates opened three hours before kickoff and fans were encouraged to arrive early. For future matches, attendees should plan accordingly and allow ample time for travel, parking, and security screening, particularly given the large crowds expected for World Cup events.” FIFA officials and Miami Stadium officials have not responded to 7News’ request for comment.","author":"Jayme Berezdivin","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://themiami.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwsvn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F06%2FFIFA-World-Cup-Transportation-Delays.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"fifa-world-cup-fans-report-transportation-issues-during-first-match-at-miami-stadium"},{"id":"mxwj66","title":"Broward County drops pursuit of Spirit Airlines Dania Beach HQ","source":"The Real Deal","category":"arts","publishDate":"2026-06-16T23:00:00.000Z","url":"https://therealdeal.com/miami/2026/06/16/broward-drops-bid-plan-for-spirit-airlines-headquarters/","archiveId":"p120wx","excerpt":"Broward County has abandoned its effort to bid on part of Spirit Airlines’ former Dania Beach headquarters, which is headed to auction next month.

If enacted, the legislation would prohibit the use of bait to attract sharks in federal waters off the Florida coast, though it would include an exception for shark fishing.Supporters argue the bill will improve safety for swimmers, beachgoers, and anglers. Opponents, however, contend the measure would effectively dismantle the multimillion-dollar shark diving tourism industry in South Florida.\"This industry has created a natural guardianship for sharks; it is showing people that sharks are worth more alive than dead; it's showing people the importance of sharks, really,\" said Tanner Mansell, who operates Tanner Underwater Charters out of Jupiter.Mansell argues that banning bait would leave operators with no viable alternative. \"It would completely eliminate the industry because if we could go out there and swim with sharks without using bait, I would, I would be more than happy to do that,\" he said.He noted that his charters typically operate 3 to 4 miles offshore, well away from beachgoers, and argued that shark fishing from the beach presents a greater safety risk.\"So they're taking the same chum that we use to attract sharks offshore, but you can put it on a hook and throw it at the beach and lure sharks in if you want to catch them right next to beachgoers, so there's a huge double standard here,\" Mansell said. He also disputed claims that dive charters are responsible for drawing sharks closer to shore, pointing to the high volume of recreational fishing boats in the area.Conversely, the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust supports the legislation, citing the need to address shark depredation—a situation where sharks target hooked fish or fish being released back into the water.\"I think anything we can do to address the shark depredation issue is going to pay dividends in the long run,\" said Kellie Ralston, the organization's vice president for conservation and public policy.Ralston highlighted research indicating that more than 40% of breeding permit fish, a key recreational fishery in the state, were being lost to sharks during the catch-and-release process. \"I think couched in kind of this larger focus on shark depredation, I think we're poised to see some really positive results out of this that'll benefit our anglers, our boaters, our waters and our fisheries to be sustainable for the long term,\" she added.The bill is sponsored by Rep. Daniel Webster, R-Clermont. A spokesperson for Webster's office stated that the legislation mirrors existing Florida state law prohibiting shark feeding off the coast.\"The bill would extend these protections to federal waters, aligning with existing federal law surrounding Hawaii and Pacific territories,\" the spokesperson said. \"With the bill passing the U.S. House of Representatives on June 2, it now goes to the Senate for consideration.\"If you have breaking news, a tip, or an issue you think deserves investigation, contact our newsroom at 844-404-4954 (Broward) or 844-404-4305 (Miami-Dade).

The incident took place in the 6100 block of Southwest 87th Avenue at a Miami-Dade County vehicle maintenance facility in Southwest Miami-Dade. One person was killed and four others were injured in the blast, officials said. A neighbor who lives nearby shared what happened. “Everything was normal, I was getting ready for a work meeting, and all of a sudden there was a loud boom that came from behind the house and the house shook a little bit,” said area resident Stephanie Galvez, “We were like worried that the destruction would reach closer to us because after we found out there was an underground fire, we were scared and didn’t know what to do,” While officials have not confirmed the name of the person who died, family members of 36-year-old Leomar Suris say that he is missing.
