The bodies of six American soldiers killed during Operation Epic Fury arrived back in the United States today. President Trump and other senior officials took part in the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. The president spoke prior to leaving for Dover. Very sad situation.

To greet the families of the heroes coming home from Iran, coming home in a different manner than they thought they'd be coming home. But they're great heroes in our country. The six Army Reserve soldiers died in an attack in Kuwait on Sunday, the day after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran. All six service members were based in Des Moines, Iowa. The State Department says over 28,000 American citizens have returned to the U.S. from the Middle East. Lisa Carton reports. In an update on Saturday, officials said the numbers don't include Americans who safely relocated to other countries or were still in transit back to the U.S. They noted the agency's 24-7 Task Force has also helped over 16,000 Americans abroad, offering security guidance and travel assistance. The State Department said it is actively assisting American citizens who want to leave the Middle East. I'm Lisa Carton. Officials say at least eight people have died as severe storms and tornadoes sweep through parts of the Midwest and plains.

Four people were confirmed dead in Michigan, including a 12-year-old boy. In Oklahoma, an EF2 tornado killed a mother and daughter Thursday. Then another tornado left two people dead and several others injured on Friday. There have been 13 confirmed tornadoes across both states. Police say two people are in custody after suspicious devices were found outside of Gracie Mansion, the official home of the mayor of New York City. It happened today as an anti-Islam demonstration was being held outside the mansion by conservative influencer Jake Lang. The NYPD says no injuries were reported and the investigation is ongoing. I'm Rob Barter. As gas prices continued to soar, the Trump administration is getting creative and its attempts to produce more oil in the United States. More from Jason Nathanson. President Trump could do an enrunner on California laws to let a company restart oil production off the Santa Barbara coast. The U.S. Department of Justice put out a legal opinion this week that says it would be legal for the president to use the Defense Production Act of 1950 to allow the company Sable to start

using a pipeline that broke in 2015, causing one of the biggest oil spills in state history. Sable bought the pipeline in 2024 and says it fixed the problems, but state officials aren't convinced and haven't granted Sable approval to use it. I'm Jason Nathanson. According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of gas is $3.41. Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, and Pennsylvania have an average price of $3.46 and higher. Daylight saving time is starting for most of the country this weekend. Fox will set forward an hour beginning at 2am this Sunday, March 8th, shifting 60 more minutes of daylight to the evening hours until the time moves back an hour again this fall. Fire officials say the twice annual clock shift is a good time to test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and change batteries if needed. Airbnb is paying homeowners a bonus to list their houses for Brent during the World Cup if it's near New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. Scott Pringle reports. Airbnb has listed dozens of zip codes near MetLife Stadium where new hosts would get $750

in addition to the money they'd get for the rental. They would have to have one rental by the end of July and not have had an active home listing prior to February 1st to get the bonus money. Officials say there's been a huge demand for the short-term stays during the period of the World Cup which runs from mid-June through July 19th. MetLife Stadium's hosting eight matches. The Mega Millions jackpot is now well past the half billion dollar mark. There's no grand prize winner on Friday so the jackpot jumps to an estimated $533 million. The next drawing takes place on Tuesday. I'm Rob Martyr.
