's National Cathedral.
A funeral service for former Republican# Vice President Dick Cheney brought together## a bipartisan gathering of family and former# leaders.
The front pews were filled with former## Presidents George W. Bush and Joe Biden, plus# four former vice presidents from both parties.
In their eulogies, President Bush# and Cheney's daughter Liz honored## his sense of duty and commitment to his country.
GEORGE W. BUSH, Former President of the United# States: His time produced an old breed of public## servant, defined by their substance and character.# This was a vice president totally devoted to## protecting the United States and its interests.# There was never any agenda or angle beyond that.
FMR.
REP.
LIZ CHENEY (R-WY): But he# knew that bonds of party must always## yield to the single bond we share as# Americans.
For him, a choice between## defense of the Constitution and defense of# your political party was no choice at all.
AMNA NAWAZ: President Trump and Vice President# J.D.
Vance were not in attendance today, as they## were not invited.
Cheney rather famously# voted for Vice President Kamala Harris,## a Democrat, in the 2024 election, as he put it# -- quote -- "to put country above partisanship."
The Trump administration today announced one# of its most ambitious plans yet to drill for## oil off the nation's coasts.
The proposal# would open up nearly 1.3 billion acres of## coastal waters to oil and gas drilling.# That includes leases for new drilling off## the coasts of California and Florida for the# first time in decades, as well as a remote## region off Alaska called the High Arctic,# where such drilling has never taken place.
Critics have slammed the plan, including# California Governor Gavin Newsom,## who's called it -- quote -- "dead on arrival."
Federal investigators say there was evidence# of cracks in the engine mount of the UPS cargo## plane that crashed two weeks ago in Kentucky,# killing 14 people.
A series of photos released## today show the engine on the plane's left wing# starting to detach during takeoff.
Officials## say the plane only managed to get 30 feet off# the ground.
The NTSB said the plane was last## examined in 2021 and that it wasn't due for any# detailed inspections of the parts in question.
The Justice Department now has 30 days# to release files related to the late sex## offender Jeffrey Epstein after President# Trump signed the bill last night calling## for them to be made public.
This includes# an estimated 100,000 pages from multiple## DOJ investigations into Epstein and his# convicted co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
But the bill does allow for redactions to# protect the victims' identities and ongoing## investigations, among others.
In the meantime,# former U.S.
Treasury Secretary Larry Summers says## he will take a leave of absence from teaching# at Harvard after recently released e-mails## show Summers kept a friendly relationship with# Epstein well after Epstein's 2008 conviction.
In Gaza, hospital officials say Israeli strikes# killed at least 33 people overnight, including## children.
The attacks are some of the deadliest# since the U.S.-brokered cease-fire last month.## Israel says they responded to soldiers# coming under fire in the southern city## of Khan Yunis yesterday.
Hamas has# denied firing at Israeli troops.
Two of Ezz Al-Din Keshko's children were killed## in the strike.
He spoke with# our Gaza producer, Shams Odeh.
EZZ AL-DIN KESHKO, Father of Children Killed in# Airstrike (through translator): They were killed## in a shelter that hosted p.. are children and women who have nothing to do# with this, honest people living amongst the## community.
The unjust criminal occupation# murdered them without empathy or mercy.
AMNA NAWAZ: Also today, a report from Human# Rights Watch says that Israel may have## committed war crimes, forcibly expelling 32,000# Palestinians from three West Bank refugee camps## earlier this year.
Israel has said the raids# were necessary to prevent militant activity.
The Associated Press, meanwhile, reports that# Israel's civil administration is planning to## seize parts of Sebastia, a major West Bank# historic site.
An anti-settlement group## claims this would be one of Israel's largest# seizures of archaeological important land yet.
Back in this country, Verizon is cutting more# than 13,000 jobs as part of an effort to,## in its words, reorient the company.
The# wireless carrier is looking to shrink## costs and restructure its operations# as it faces rising competition and a## shrinking pool of new customers.
Its stock# ended 1 percent lower after the news.
Elsewhere on Wall Street today, stocks# gave up early gains to close sharply## lower.
The Dow Jones industrial# average fell nearly 400 points.
The## Nasdaq dropped almost 500 points.
The S&P# 500 also ended the day firmly in the red.
Still to come on the "News# Hour": President Trump calls## for Democrats to be arrested for urging# the military to refuse unlawful orders;## the debate over a spike in health care# premiums under the Affordable Care Act;## and the Trump administration considers suing# states who regulate artificial intelligence.
