R HEADLINES NATIONAL WEATHER , OFFICIALS ARE WARNING OF "SIGNIFICANT AND POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING FLASH FLOODING" ACROSS THE GULF COAST AND SOUTHEASTERN U.S. AS THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION. IN MISSISSIPPI, STRONG WINDS DISLODGED THIS STORAGE TRAILER AND SOME AREAS IN THE STATE HAVE SEEN ABOUT A FOOT OF RAIN. THE GOVERNOR SAYS THERE'S BEEN AT LEAST ONE STORM-RELATED DEATH. ALSO TODAY -- LOUISIANA IS UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY AS FLOODS DESTROY HOMES AND THREATEN LIVES AND EVEN LIVESTOCK. THESE PIGS WERE PLUNGED INTO A POWERFUL CURRENT -- THEIR OWNER SAYS THEY ARE NOW SAFE. IN THE U.K., AT LEAST ONE PERSON HAS DIED AFTER TWO TRAINS COLLIDED NORTH OF LONDON THIS EVENING. REAL FOOTAGE -- AERIAL FOOTAGE SHOWS WHAT LOOKS TO BE THE FRONT OF ONE TRAIN ENTANGLED WITH THE BACK OF ANOTHER. POLICE SAY THAT A "NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED," BUT AT LAST CHECK PROVIDED NO FURTHER DETAILS ON CASUALTIES. ACCORDING TO RAIL TRACKING WEBSITES, BOTH TRAINS WERE TRAVELING SOUTH WHEN THEY COLLIDED OUTSIDE BEDFORD. ALSO TODAY, BRITISH PRIME MINISTER KEIR STARMER SAID TODAY HE WOULD NOT QUOTE, "WALK AWAY," FROM ANY THREAT TO HIS LEADERSHIP, AFTER HIS CHIEF RIVAL WITHIN THE LABOUR PARTY WON A SEAT IN PARLIAMENT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ANDY BURNHAM'S VICTORY -- ALONGSIDE SOME FESTIVELY DRESSED FELLOW CANDIDATES -- IS A MAJOR STEP TOWARDS CHALLENGING STARMER AS HEAD OF THE PARTY, AND LEADER OF THE COUNTRY. BURNHAM IS CURRENTLY THE MAYOR OF GREATER MANCHESTER WHO'S KNOWN AS THE "KING OF THE NORTH." AT A VICTORY RALLY TODAY, BURNHAM TOLD SUPPORTERS ABOUT HIS PLANS TO ADDRESS THE NATION'S AFFORDABILITY CRISIS AND TO ALTER THE NATION'S POLITICS. >> IT IS OUR LAST CHANCE TO CHANGE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT AREN'T WE?

WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY AND WE ARE GOING TO LAY OUT A NEW PATH FOR BRITAIN. [APPLAUSE] AMNA: STARMER CONGRATULATED BURNHAM ON HIS WIN, BUT TOLD THE BBC THAT AN INTRA-PARTY CONTEST WOULD PLUNGE BRITAIN INTO WHAT HE CALLED "CHAOS." THE PRIME MINISTER'S FUTURE HAS BEEN IN QUESTION SINCE HIS PARTY SUFFERED BRUISING LOSSES IN LOCAL ELECTIONS LAST MONTH. ITALY'S FOREIGN MINISTER HAS CANCELLED A TRIP TO THE U.S., AMID A BROADER PUSHBACK AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP'S COMMENTS ABOUT THE COUNTRY'S PRIME MINISTER, GIORGIA MELONI. IN AN INTERVIEW WITH AN ITALIAN BROADCASTER, TRUMP CLAIMED THAT MELONI "BEGGED" HIM FOR A PHOTO-OP AT THE RECENT G7 SUMMIT IN FRANCE AND THAT HE FELT SORRY FOR HER. MELONI FIRED BACK ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SAYING, "ITALY AND I DO NOT BEG." P.M. MELONI: SOME THINGS DESERVE AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE. DONALD TRUMP'S STATEMENTS ARE COMPLETELY MADE UP. I AM FRANKLY ASTONISHED. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES BEHAVES LIKE THIS TOWARDS HIS ALLIES. IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME. AMNA: THE RIGHT-WING MELONI HAD BEEN CONSIDERED ONE OF TRUMP'S CLOSEST POLITICAL ALLIES IN EUROPE. BUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP HAS BEEN STRAINED BY MELONI'S REFUSAL TO BACK TRUMP'S WAR IN IRAN. THERE'S BEEN A FLU OUTBREAK AT AN AIR FORCE BASE IN TEXAS, JUST WEEKS AFTER DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH ENDED MANDATORY VACCINES FOR SERVICE MEMBERS. MULTIPLE MEDIA OUTLETS ARE REPORTING THERE ARE MORE THAN 150 CASES AT LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE AT JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO. AN AIR FORCE SPOKESPERSON IS CITED AS CALLING THE OUTBREAK 'LOCALIZED' AND SAYING 'MITIGATION MEASURES' ARE IN PLACE. IN APRIL, HEGSETH ANNOUNCED THAT HE WAS ROLLING BACK A DECADES-OLD MANDATE REQUIRING THAT U.S. MILITARY PERSONNEL GET AN ANNUAL FLU SHOT SAYING THAT MANDATE WAS "OVERLY BROAD."

THE PAUSE IS INTENDED TO ALLOW TIME TO REVIEW SAFETY PROTOCOLS, AFTER 18-YEAR-OLD ROMANCH MAHAJAN DIED THIS WEEK AFTER THE HORSE OF THE CARRIAGE HE WAS RIDING IN BOLTED. AUTHORITIES BELIEVE HE'S THE FIRST PERSON TO DIE IN SUCH AN ACCIDENT SINCE THE RIDES WERE INTRODUCED MORE THAN 150 YEARS AGO. BUT IT'S THE EIGHTH HORSE-RELATED INCIDENT IN THE PARK IN JUST OVER A YEAR AND IT'S RAISED NEW CALLS TO BAN THE PRACTICE. FINANCIAL MARKETS WERE CLOSED TODAY, IN HONOR OF THE JUNETEENTH HOLIDAY. IT MARKS THE DATE IN 1865 WHEN UNION TROOPS ARRIVED IN TEXAS WITH AN ORDER DECLARING THAT THE STATE'S ENSLAVED PEOPLE WERE FREE, MORE THAN TWO YEARS AFTER THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. FORMER PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN MADE IT A NATIONAL HOLIDAY FIVE YEARS AGO AND IT'S OFTEN MARKED WITH PARADES, MUSIC, AND FIREWORKS AT EVENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND LEGENDARY TV DIRECTOR JAMES BURROWS HAS DIED. OVER A FIVE DECADE CAREER, HE BROUGHT US SOME OF THE MOST ICONIC SITCOMS IN HISTORY. ♪ ON SHOWS LIKE "CHEERS" -- WHICH HE CO-CREATED -- BURROWS SET A TONE OF HUMOR AND HEART, GIVING VIEWERS QUICK ONE-LINERS, MEMORABLE CHARACTERS, AND PLACES WHERE -- YES -- "EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME." THE 11-TIME EMMY WINNER ALSO DIRECTED EVERY EPISODE OF WILL & GRACE DURING ITS ORIGINAL RUN, PLUS SHOWS INCLUDING TAXI, FRASIER, AND FRIENDS. AMONG OTHERS.
