Dallas-Fort Worth is among the most ozone-polluted metro areas in the U.S. That's according to new data from the American Lung Association. The 26th annual State of the Air report ranked D-FW as No. 10 out of 228 metropolitan areas for worst high ozone days — a setback from previous rankings. In other news, a man is in jail and facing murder charges after Dallas police connected two separate shootings by tying bullet casings, a cellphone number and a vehicle to both scenes, records show. 30-year old Garrett Hudgens is facing murder charges in connection with fatal shootings on April 4 in West Oak Cliff and April 23 near Fair Park; a novel experiment underway in West Texas could help determine whether long-abandoned nuclear technology could be the future of Texas power. At Abilene Christian University, a research lab is working to create the nation's first nuclear research reactor in more than 40 years; and the Dallas Stars needed a response, and it couldn't have come in more convincing fashion. Scoring just nine seconds into Game 5 at American Airlines Center, the Stars showed up from the start and took down the Colorado Avalanche 6-2 on Monday to take a 3-2 series lead. The Stars will have the chance to end the series Thursday night in Game 6 at Colorado. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

More than one in five bridges in Oregon was in “distressed” condition in 2024. That’s according to the Oregon Department of Transportation’s annual bridge condition report. Oregon also has the fewest number of bridges in “good” condition as determined by federal standards compared to six other Western states. Under ideal conditions, ODOT says it would be able to replace 27 of those bridges per year. But with its current resources, it’s only on pace to replace three. Tova Peltz is a statewide capital program engineer at ODOT. She joins us with an update on how the state’s bridges are faring.

Most of the world has dirty air, with just 17% of cities globally meeting air pollution guidelines, a report found. Switzerland-based air quality monitoring database IQAir analyzed data from 40,000 air quality monitoring stations in 138 countries and found that Chad, Congo, Bangladesh, Pakistan and India had the dirtiest air. India had six of the nine most polluted cities, with the industrial town of Byrnihat in northeastern India the worst. Experts said the real amount of air pollution might be far greater, as many parts of the world lack the monitoring needed for more accurate data. In Africa, for example, there is only one monitoring station for every 3.7 million people. More air quality monitors are being set up to counter the issue, the report said. This year, report authors were able to incorporate data from 8,954 new locations and around a thousand new monitors as a result of efforts to better monitor air pollution. But a few weeks ago, data monitoring for air pollution was dealt a blow when the U.S. State Department announced it would no longer make public its data from its embassies and consulates around the world. Breathing in polluted air over a long period can cause respiratory illnesses, Alzheimer's disease and cancer, said Fatimah Ahamad, chief scientist and air pollution expert at Malaysia-based Sunway Centre for Planetary Health. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that air pollution kills around 7 million people each year. Ahamad said much more needs to be done to cut air pollution levels. The WHO had earlier found that 99% of the world's population lives in places that do not meet recommended air quality levels. "If you have bad water, no water, you can tell people to wait for half an hour a day, the water will come. But if you have bad air, you cannot tell people to pause breathing," she said. Several cities like Beijing; Seoul, South Korea; and Rybnik in Poland have successfully improved their air quality through stricter regulations on pollution from vehicles, power plants and industry. They've also promoted cleaner energy and invested in public transportation. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Billionaires' wealth grew three times faster in 2024 than the year before, while the number of the world's poor has barely changed over the last quarter-century, a top anti-poverty group reported in January. Oxfam International, in its latest assessment of global inequality timed for an annual gathering of elites in Switzerland, also predicts at least five trillionaires will crop up over the next decade—a year after forecasting that one would appear over that span. The sharp-edged report came as the World Economic Forum in January hosted some 3,000 people including business executives, government and civic group leaders, academics, and others at its annual meeting in Davos. “It's not about one specific individual. It's the economic system that we have created where the billionaires are now pretty much being able to shape economic policies, social policies, which eventually gives them more and more profit,” said Amitabh Behar, executive director of Oxfam International. Oxfam said billionaire wealth grew by $2 trillion last year, or roughly $5.7 billion a day, three times faster than in 2023. The number of billionaires rose by 204 to 2,769, and the 10 richest men saw their wealth rise nearly $100 million a day on average, it said. Citing World Bank data, the group pointed to lingering poverty, saying the number of people living on less than $6.85 per day has “barely changed” since 1990. Oxfam used Forbes' Real-Time Billionaire List as of end-November for data on the ultra-rich. Despite the growing gap between the über-rich and the poor, the annual Davos confab that formally began on January 20 appeared set to focus this year as much as ever on making money and doing deals, with strongman leaders on the rise in some Western countries and progressive causes like diversity and climate change waning in the business world. The continued rise of artificial intelligence as a tool for businesses to reap greater efficiencies was a central theme in Davos again this year, despite worries in many sectors that it could upend many white-collar jobs and displace workers in an array of industries.

The new jobs report shows the pace of hiring slowed slightly in January with the economy adding 143,000 jobs. The report also revised down jobs numbers between April 2023 and March of 2024 by nearly 600,000, the largest annual revision in more than 15 years. To help make sense of it all, Amna Nawaz spoke with Austan Goolsbee, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

Had Attorney General Merrick Garland moved faster, there's a pretty good chance that now President-elect Donald Trump would be facing serious consequences in the 2020 election interference case. The report by Special Council Jack Smith was released early today and indicates that Smith had enough evidence to convict Trump. Smith also writes that Trump‘s reelection and Constitutional protections for presidents make it impossible to move forward with the prosecution of that case. Smith also wrote that evidence shows the January 6th Capitol attack was Trump's doing.

A long-awaited report into Matt Gaetz says the former congressman paid for sex and drugs while in office. Also: marches take place in Magdeburg, and a new government in France after days of political turmoil.
Tonight on The ReidOut, we lead with a statement from Ethics Committee member Glenn Ivey, who discusses Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's initial pick for U.S. attorney general, and the bombshell Ethics Committee report, which is as bad and revolting as anticipated. Also, Trump's territorial ambitions resurface as he demands the return of the Panama Canal and that Denmark hand over Greenland, despite his promises of no more wars. Plus, President Biden makes history by commuting nearly all federal death sentences. Listen now.
