Morning Wire XX
[0] I'm Daily Wire, editor -in -chief John Bickley, with Georgia Howe.
[1] It's Tuesday, January 23rd, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
[2] 24 Israeli soldiers were killed in Israel's deadliest day of war on Tuesday.
[3] Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has the details.
[4] 21 soldiers were killed in one explosion caused when a Hamas militant used an RPG to blow up an Israeli tank.
[5] The IDF says three more soldiers, two majors and a captain, were killed in a separate incident.
[6] Israel is currently focusing its war efforts on southern Gaza.
[7] The IDF says they have made significant progress in the city of Khan Yunus, which they describe as a Hamas stronghold.
[8] Meanwhile, Hamas still holds 130 hostages saying they will release them in return for a permanent ceasefire, an offer which Israel has rejected.
[9] Despite pressure from the U .S. and the EU, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to defend his stance against a two -state solution, saying that would be a threat to the existence of Israel.
[10] Three Kansas City chief fans were found frozen to death in the yard behind their friends' home in Kansas City, Missouri after gathering to watch a game.
[11] The bodies were reportedly on the property for two days before being found on January 9th.
[12] The homeowner states the friends left the residence after the game.
[13] He believed to go to a bar and did not return.
[14] A toxicology report has not been released, but according to Kansas City PD, foul play is not suspected.
[15] The Harvard Medical School affiliated Dana -Farber Cancer Institute announced its requesting to retract six studies and correct 31 other papers in connection with a probe involving several of its senior cancer researchers, including the organization's chief executive president, Laurie Glimcher.
[16] The institute has not yet revealed whether misconduct occurred.
[17] The scandal began earlier this month when a molecular biologist Shulto David wrote a blog post warning that there were signs of image manipulation in some of the results.
[18] including, quote, pixel -perfect matches for the same area in images that were supposed to be different samples.
[19] Hundreds of illegal immigrants are sleeping on the floor of Boston's Logan Airport at night.
[20] This started back in November, but according to the local CBS affiliate, the migrants are removed during the day.
[21] Here's Massachusetts Governor Mora Healy addressing the situation.
[22] I really want to thank the folks at the airport for the tremendous job they've done, including members of the state police who are working their regular shifts.
[23] but who are managing the inflow and outflow of folks from the airport.
[24] According to CBS, the state police are being paid overtime to cover those night shifts.
[25] Healy asked the state legislature for $250 million more to deal with the crisis and estimates it will cost another $950 million next year.
[26] Johnson and Johnson has reached a tentative agreement to pay out $700 million to settle a sweeping investigation into the marketing of its Talcum -based baby powder.
[27] Here with Morris Dayle, LiWire reporter, Amanda Prestige Giacomo.
[28] 42 states and Washington, D .C., had launched investigations into J &J for apparently failing to inform customers about potential health risks, primarily that the company's baby powder allegedly caused cancer.
[29] J &J has denied those allegations, but did remove L -Telk -based powders from the market in 2020.
[30] The tentative agreement, according to sources, would shield J &J from future lawsuits, but would not affect the more than 50 ,000 pending personal injury lawsuits, most of which come from women claiming the powder gave them ovarian cancer.
[31] And the Oscar nominations were announced this morning, and Barbenheimer is already the clear winner, according to total nominations.
[32] Here's Daily Wire Culture Reporter Megan Vasham with more.
[33] The epic historical drama Oppenheimer led the pack with 13 nominations.
[34] Killian Murphy will compete for best actor for his portrayal of the father of the atom bomb, and Christopher Nolan received nods.
[35] for both Best Writer and Best Director.
[36] Poor Things, a modern twist on Frankenstein, received 12 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress for Emma Stone.
[37] While Martin Scorsese's latest, Killers of the Flower Moon, is up for 11 awards, making him the most nominated living director.
[38] But the big story may be two names that were not mentioned.
[39] Though the Blockbuster Barbie received eight nominations, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor, for Ryan Gosling, Director Greta Gerwig and star Margo Robbie were both snubbed for Hollywood's most prestigious award.
[40] Those are your drive home updates this afternoon.
