0:00Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dan Rummerin. Officials at Miami International Airport say at least five people are dead after an Amazon cargo's 767 jets slid off the runway today while attempting to land. Five others were injured. The plane was in rock from San Juan Puerto Rico when it went through a barrier across an airport perimeter road and hit several cars and then caught fire. The day-share of Rosie Cordero Stuts spoke with reporters a short time ago. A cargo plane crashed at Miami International Airport as it overran the runway number 30. It came to rest at a field adjacent to the airport. At this time we can confirm that we have at least five deceased individuals and we have multiple individuals that were transported to local hospitals with unknown injuries. The FAA had issued a ground stop at the airport but that is expired however official say travelers flying into and out of the airport can expect delays at least through Monday.

1:00The NTSP is sending a go team. The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court again to clear the way for the U.S. Postal Service to restrict mail-in voting for the midterm election. NPR's Hansi-Lowong reports the Supreme Court ruling could come as soon as Wednesday. This is the third emergency request the Treble Administration has made at the Supreme Court for the President's attempt to limit mail-in voting. This time the Supreme Court is set to weigh in on the legality of the U.S. Postal Services plan. Under that plan U.S. P.S. would refuse to deliver mail-in ballots to voters in states where election officials do not turn over voter lists to the mailing agency and do not have certain barcodes in their ballot envelopes. We should note U.S. P.S. is a financial supporter of NPR. A federal judge in Boston has blocked those requirements twice. After finding that U.S. P.S. has no authority to impose them on states, any whistleblower report claims the Postal Services systems for enforcing those requirements have not been properly tested and could derail mail-in voting for the midterm general election, which is just getting started in North Carolina. Hansi-Lowong and P.R. News.

2:02The Labor Department is set to issue an important report on inflation this week. NPR Scott Horsley reports financial markets will be watching closely. The annual inflation rate jumped to 4.2 percent back in May, as the U.S. War with Iran sent energy prices soaring. By July, inflation had cooled somewhat, but prices are still climbing faster than the federal reserve would like. That puts the spotlight on the August report, which comes out Friday, if inflation continues to cool Fed policy makers may feel content to leave interest rates where they are. But any acceleration in price hikes could prompt the Fed to raise rates. Investors think a September rate hike is more likely than not, especially after a better than expected jobs report on Friday. Diesel prices have also climbed to a record high, which has the potential to raise the cost of transporting a wide array of goods. That's got Horsley. In P.R. News, Washington. Primary voters in New Hampshire Tuesday will select Republican and Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate in November. This is NPR.
