Daily Audio Newscast Afternoon Update - April 3, 2026

Daily Audio Newscast Afternoon Update - April 3, 2026 kcpnews2 Fri, 04/03/2026 - 16:59 Image (Public News Service) News from around the nation. Audio file Trump acts on “Stone Age” threat by bombing bridge in Iran; NM lawmakers throw a needed lifeline to local journalism; NYC students help protect Coney Island from climate impacts; VA prison education advocates call for greater digital access. Transcript The Public News Service Friday afternoon update. I'm Mike Clifford. The U.S. military Thursday attacked major civilian infrastructure in Iran for the first time, hours after President Trump threatened in that primetime address to bomb the country back to the Stone Ages. Trump warned the U.S. hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran if there's no deal to end the war. Iranian media said eight people were killed in the strike on the B-1 bridge, which officials said was still under construction. NBC notes the United Nations Security Council expected to vote tomorrow on a proposal that would authorize defensive action to allow vessels to safely transit the vital Strait of Hormuz trade route. Next, a former journalist who's now a New Mexico state senator believes democracy depends on an informed public and local news providers are set to benefit. The story from our Ross Brown. In the recent legislative session, Senator Carrie Hamblin got a bill passed that offers tax credits worth up to $15,000 per journalist to local newspapers, broadcasters, and online outlets. Across the state, the legislation is worth up to $4 million a year, which Hamblin says is designed to help save newsroom jobs and support new hiring. As newspapers close and newsrooms shrink, she says New Mexicans have fewer options for staying informed. Especially in rural communities where they're either looking at their social media or media from parts of the state that don't impact them. Local news coverage is incredibly important for an informed democracy. And New York City middle and high school students are helping protect the city from climate impacts. Since 2022, they've been planting thousands of American beechgrass plants in Coney Island Creek Park to strengthen the area's climate resilience as part of the National Wildlife Federation's Resilient Schools and Communities Program. City data show the area is vulnerable to flooding and coastal erosion from intensifying storms. Emily Fano with the National Wildlife Federation says beachgrass plants can address some of these ongoing problems. This is a wonderful grass that creates a network, kind of like a spider web, under the sand. That really helps to stabilize the sand, not only to prevent it from washing into the water, but also to prevent it from blowing into the street. Students have overwhelmingly positive feedback about the program, but she says one big challenge is securing funding for additional plantings. I'm Edwin J. Viera. And as the world becomes more digitized, prison education advocates are calling for that technology to come to prison education programs. Terry Irwin is with the Virginia Consensus for Higher Education in Prison. People who get education while they're incarcerated, of whatever level, helps them once they get on the outside to find their way in a more constructive way. They don't come back to prison if they have more tools to make their way in the outside world. In 2024, the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee found that 40 percent of incarcerated people in Virginia have an assessed need for education to reduce their likelihood of reoffending. This is Public News Service. As we head into Easter weekend, pastors in Wisconsin are criticizing white Christian nationalism. They say the ideology is contrary to the major tenets of the Christian faith, and they're calling on others to join their protests. Senior pastor of Orchard Ridge United Church of Christ in Madison, Rev. Julia Berkey, is one of many who believe the country's leaders continue to incite extremist values. She says it's important to recognize that Christian nationalists are invoking a version of God that is unrecognizable to mainstream Christianity. Berkey describes using God's name to wage violence or strip people's rights as blasphemy and calls it a violation of the teachings of Jesus. She says he taught his believers to love and be in solidarity with the most vulnerable and marginalized in society. But that means that the least of these are protected and empowered and that every person is created in the image of God, not just the powerful, not just those who are white or straight or cisgender or citizens. She draws parallels between the execution of Jesus by the Roman Empire to what she calls the American Empire today. I'm Judith Ruiz Branch reporting. And a new Ohio State University hospital in Columbus is expected to help fill rural health care gaps in the region. The new hospital's executive director, Dennis Delisle, says many local hospitals are limited in technologies and capabilities, noting the new OSU hospital specialists can step in when illness has progressed or surgical needs are more advanced. It's an 820-bed facility. We have about 230 ICUs within that bed complement. We have 24 operating rooms. We have an expansion of our neonatal ICU and our women and infant services as well. With a population expected to exceed 3 million by 2050, an increase of more than 700,000 people, the facility is expected to meet growing health care needs. This is Nadia Romlagan for Ohio News Connection. Finally, safeguards protecting kids on social media are a top priority for parents. There's a new push after the landmark verdict found Meta and Google liable for being addictive to minors. At a news conference, bereaved parent Juliana Arnold says big tech companies knew their platforms were hurting kids but chose profit anyway. She says her message to them is simple. There's a right thing to do and a wrong thing to do, and they're on the wrong side. Stop blaming the parents. It's on you. And this is what this is showing today. And for parents, we now know that they were manipulating our children for profits while we were watching and trying to keep our families safe. They are the predators. Danielle Smith reporting. Both companies plan to appeal, and they deny social media alone causes severe mental health issues. This is Mike Clifford for Public News Service, member and listener supported.

Spend in the Black Marketplace seeks to ‘Resurrect the Black Dollar’ this Easter weekend

<p>Kharyn Beard prioritizes the Black dollar. It’s why she’s kept her Auburn Gresham store open for 21 years this summer.</p><p>Beard will be participating as a vendor for a second year at the Spend in the Black Marketplace. It takes place at 75th Street & King Drive from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. Spend in the Black is organized by Charlie E. Dates, senior pastor of Progressive Baptist Church and Salem Baptist Church, in partnership with Ald. William Hall (6th). The event brings together residents and Black entrepreneurs to advance health and financial wellness. It is free and open to the public.</p><p>For Beard, an event like this sends a signal within and beyond the Black community.</p><p>“We spend. Our dollars are important,” Beard said. “I don't even think we realize how important our dollars are. Where we spend our money directly impacts the strength and stability of our communities.”</p><p>Last year’s event produced an economic impact of $1 million in spending and attracted more than 5,000 visitors, organizers said. This year’s event will feature a fresh market experience and health and wellness activations, which include on-site screenings and resources to expand access to care. There will also be live entertainment, music, giveaways, and family friendly programming throughout the day.</p><p>Beard is the owner of KhamrynB, a boutique offering casual to formal wear, both ready-to-wear and custom-made. Her second location is in Roosevelt Collection in the South Loop. She’s participated in a few programs to strengthen her business, like the Mastercard Start Path program that helps small businesses access resources to thrive. Beard also worked with Our United Village, a program exclusively for a group of businesses selected by Beyonce’s foundation BeyGOOD.</p><p>After a profitable day at last year’s Spend in the Black Marketplace, Beard decided to participate again at Saturday’s event.</p><p>“The people came out, they were so excited to have us there,” Beard said. “They were supporting, and they weren't just there looking. People were really spending money.”</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center> <div class="Enhancement-item" data-crop=""> <figure class="Figure"><a class="AnchorLink" id="image-820000" name="image-820000"></a> <picture data-crop="medium"> <source type="image/webp" width="490" height="275" data-srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/428cf4d/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8192x4598+0+433/resize/490x275!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F07%2Fb5%2F36ac7f2549f7829feab8459ba127%2Fblackspending-260403-017.jpg 1x,https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/ee2bd1d/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8192x4598+0+433/resize/980x550!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F07%2Fb5%2F36ac7f2549f7829feab8459ba127%2Fblackspending-260403-017.jpg 2x" data-lazy-load="true" srcset="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" /> <source width="490" height="275" data-srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/e060f1d/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8192x4598+0+433/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F07%2Fb5%2F36ac7f2549f7829feab8459ba127%2Fblackspending-260403-017.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" srcset="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" /> <img class="Image" alt="Owner Kharyn Beard stands in Kham'ryn B Shoes & Accessories in the Roosevelt Collection shopping center." srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/e060f1d/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8192x4598+0+433/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F07%2Fb5%2F36ac7f2549f7829feab8459ba127%2Fblackspending-260403-017.jpg 1x,https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/9ab911f/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8192x4598+0+433/resize/980x550!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F07%2Fb5%2F36ac7f2549f7829feab8459ba127%2Fblackspending-260403-017.jpg 2x" width="490" height="275" data-src="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/e060f1d/2147483647/strip/true/crop/8192x4598+0+433/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F07%2Fb5%2F36ac7f2549f7829feab8459ba127%2Fblackspending-260403-017.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" > </picture> <div class="Figure-content"><figcaption class="Figure-caption"><p>Owner Kharyn Beard stands in Kham’ryn B Shoes & Accessories in the Roosevelt Collection shopping center.</p></figcaption><span class="line"></span><div class="Figure-credit"><p>Candace Dane Chambers/Sun-Times</p></div></div> </figure> </div> </div><p>The event’s goal calls for the revival of Black economics, which Dates said can help communities flourish and see less crime. He referenced community divestment as a root cause for teen takeovers like the March 25 downtown incident.</p><p>“One of the ways in which people's lives are made richer and better is through economic empowerment,” Dates said. “If you look at the teen takeover from [March 25], you can see that when a community has been divested or has intentionally been neglected, it produces a sense of despair and hopelessness within the children of that community.”</p><p>This year’s event looks to strengthen both individuals and the businesses that participate. There will be an hourly raffle where the attendees can receive new savings accounts funded with $1,000 to promote long-term financial stability, sponsored by BMO.</p><p>Hall said bringing this event to the once-thriving 75th Street corridor can help the community reimagine that reality once more. “Every ward in every part of this city has its own downtown businesses strip corridor,” Hall said. “This was ours, and the economics are still there. Spending in the Black, I believe, is planting seeds of faith because we're believing for a corridor that will draw people east, and west.”</p><p>Hall said the event puts on display “potential partners in [Chicago’s] $16 billion economy. And so what we want people to walk away with is knowing that there is excellent trade and commerce beyond downtown,”.</p><p>The city’s Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection has also made an investment to prepare those businesses to be ready for a profitable partnership. One business will receive $15,000 in seed funding from the event’s business competition.

In response, Black churches have not only vocalized how the rollbacks stunt Black progress, but the churches have also encouraged Black Americans to be self-determined and consciously spend their dollars. Dates said that begins with good money habits.</p><p>“From last year’s Spend in the Black, one of the vendors got connected with resources that enabled her to open a brick-and-mortar flower shop in our city,” Dates said. “So, there are opportunities for the business owners, but there are also opportunities for good spending habits for the people who come.”</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center> <div class="Enhancement-item" data-crop=""> <figure class="Figure"><a class="AnchorLink" id="image-1b0000" name="image-1b0000"></a> <picture data-crop="medium"> <source type="image/webp" width="490" height="275" data-srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/ce8acad/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6142x3447+0+325/resize/490x275!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F36%2F4d%2Ff557114a4f318f16a02759a27ee9%2Fblackspending-260403-007.jpg 1x,https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/c62bc35/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6142x3447+0+325/resize/980x550!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F36%2F4d%2Ff557114a4f318f16a02759a27ee9%2Fblackspending-260403-007.jpg 2x" data-lazy-load="true" srcset="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" /> <source width="490" height="275" data-srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/58ea671/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6142x3447+0+325/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F36%2F4d%2Ff557114a4f318f16a02759a27ee9%2Fblackspending-260403-007.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" srcset="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" /> <img class="Image" alt="Owner Kharyn Beard pins a suit onto a mannequin at Kham'ryn B Shoes & Accessories in the Roosevelt Collection shopping center." srcset="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/58ea671/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6142x3447+0+325/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F36%2F4d%2Ff557114a4f318f16a02759a27ee9%2Fblackspending-260403-007.jpg 1x,https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/2b5fd93/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6142x3447+0+325/resize/980x550!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F36%2F4d%2Ff557114a4f318f16a02759a27ee9%2Fblackspending-260403-007.jpg 2x" width="490" height="275" data-src="https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/58ea671/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6142x3447+0+325/resize/490x275!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F36%2F4d%2Ff557114a4f318f16a02759a27ee9%2Fblackspending-260403-007.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIyNzVweCIgd2lkdGg9IjQ5MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=" > </picture> <div class="Figure-content"><figcaption class="Figure-caption"><p>Owner Kharyn Beard pins a suit onto a mannequin at Kham’ryn B Shoes & Accessories in the Roosevelt Collection shopping center.</p></figcaption><span class="line"></span><div class="Figure-credit"><p>Candace Dane Chambers/Sun-Times</p></div></div> </figure> </div> </div><p>While businesses like Beard’s boutique make a profit from pop-ups like Spend in the Black, Black businesses still need more.</p><p>“We don't have money, we don't have access,” Beard said,</p><p>She said that white business owners have easier access to capital, which is hard for Black-owned businesses to leverage.

7 2000s Sci-Fi TV Shows That Still Hold Up Today (1 Is Getting a Reboot)

Images courtesy of USA Network, Fox, and Syfy The 2000s marked a decisive shift in how science fiction understood its own purpose. The decade opened with The Matrix‘s cultural shadow still reshaping the visual grammar of Hollywood, and the films that followed drew from that precedent with increasing urgency. For instance, Minority Report turned predictive policing into a political nightmare, Children of Men [...]

The return to the moon starts NOW: ‘Exploration is what we do’

This April Fools' Day wasn’t just for jokes — but rather an incredible show of American ingenuity as astronauts on NASA’s Artemis II mission took flight on the first crewed lunar flyby in more than 50 years. “Exploration is what we do,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray says on “Pat Gray Unleashed.” “It’s deeply embedded in us. It unites us with a common goal. It creates a sense of national pride, excitement, focus, and the technology advances that we accomplish in overcoming all the obstacles to get there. That’s a tangible, practical reason for doing this,” Gray continues. However, Gray also points out that there’s some “nonsense” that will come with the historic launch. “People always ask, ‘Why don’t we go back there? Why did we stop? 'Cause we don’t really have the technology,’” Gray mocks. “No, it’s because liberals, the whiny, stinking liberals who hated any kind of advancement by the United States of America, put a stop to it.” “You like your cell phone? OK, that came from this technology. You like advanced cameras? OK, that came from NASA technology. Wireless communication of all kinds. You like the bed you sleep on, the memory foam probably came from NASA,” he continues. “Things you don’t even expect like scratch-resistant glass and glasses and sunglasses and computer technology, the laptop,” he says, before calling himself a “NASA apologist.” “I wish I was on their payroll,” he laughs. “That would be great.” Want more from Pat Gray? To enjoy more of Pat's biting analysis and signature wit as he restores common sense to a senseless world, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Can AI apps replace teachers? Experts urge caution over school model

Imagine school being two hours of core academics learned daily via an app, without teachers, and double that time spent on hands-on experiences. The unconventional model from a U.S. private school is sparking chatter and may benefit some, but Canadian experts say the approach blending GenAI with pre-existing methods warrants serious consideration about student privacy, well-being and what kids are actually learning.

Science news in review: April 3

Take some time to catch up on the latest scientific news from around the world. Induced pluripotent stem cell research hits its 20-year anniversary Shinya Yamanaka , winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, recently published a reflection on the two decades that have passed since his discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The piece started with a brief personal account of the discovery of the Yamanaka factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc), transcription factors that have the ability to reprogram differentiated somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells. iPSCs have been used to study early human development and have removed the need to harvest pluripotent stem cells from embryos, a process with many ethical and technical considerations . Yamanaka also noted the development of iPSC-based regenerative therapies, especially one using iPSC-derived corneal epithelial cells to treat blindness. More broadly, Yamanaka predicted a gradual unity of the fields of stem cell, computational, synthetic and translational biology in the next two decades, which would expand the applications of iPSCs to the industrial scale. President Trump announces new science and technology advisors President Trump recently announced the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), a council that has been appointed by the president since Franklin D. Roosevelt first formed it in 1933. The newly formed council, containing 13 members, is mostly made up of high-profile technology figures like Mark Zuckerberg (CEO of Meta), Jensen Huang (CEO of Nvidia) and Lisa Su (CEO of AMD). The members of the council have a combined net worth exceeding $900 billion . The only academic scientist on the list is John Martinis , a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara who won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for finding that quantum tunneling can be observed on a macroscopic scale. The makeup of the council differs significantly from that of Trump's first term, which was made up of 7 academic scientists and 6 industry executives. This shift, with a notable absence of biologists, likely reflects the administration's focus on AI and quantum information science . Social media companies sued for addictive content A Los Angeles jury recently awarded $6 million to a woman who sued Meta and YouTube (Google) over her childhood social media addiction. Jurors declared that the tech companies intentionally acted maliciously in order to create addictive platforms that target children with features like infinite scroll and autoplay. The decision came a day after a New Mexico court requested Meta to pay $375 million for endangering children. Along with these two high-profile cases, there are also thousands of related lawsuits moving through courts in the United States, signaling growing public discontent towards social media companies.

10 historical signs that suggest aliens exist

There are historical and celestial anomalies in human history that make us question what we thought we knew about how technology and the stars interacted in the past. The Giza Plateau's unmatched geodetic accuracy and the strange ‘out-of-place’ artefacts like the Antikythera Mechanism are just two examples of unexplained things from around the world. Mainstream academia often says that these kinds of accomplishments are due to lost human creativity, but the fact that these sites are so complicated logistically and mathematically lends credence to the paleocontact hypothesis.
