BREAKING NEWS Fox News reporter Trey Yingst flees Iranian MISSILES live on air as they rain down on Israel
A Fox News journalist was forced to run for cover life on air after Iran began bombing Israel while he reported from Tel Aviv.
Trey Yingst, who is the network's chief foreign correspondent, was forced to cut short his broadcast after ballistic missiles filled the sky over the Israeli city Friday night.
Yingst stood on a balcony while Israel's famed Iron Dome weapons defense system began to intercept some of the enemy fire.
But a few moments later it became clear that Yingst and his crew were in danger as the sky was filled with disturbing roaring.

Zelensky warns oil price surge could help Russia's war effort in Ukraine
The Ukrainian president told journalists in Kyiv that the surge in oil prices threatens Ukraine's position on the battlefield, especially because western allies have not enforced effective price caps on Russian oil exports. 'The strikes led to a sharp increase in the price of oil, which is negative for us,' Mr Zelensky said. 'The Russians are getting stronger due to greater income from oil exports.' Global oil prices rose as much as 7% after Israel and Iran exchanged attacks over the past 48 hours, raising concerns that further escalation could disrupt oil exports from the Middle East. Mr Zelensky said he planned to raise the issue in a conversation with US President Donald Trump. 'In the near future, I will be in contact with the American side, I think with the president, and we will raise this issue,' he said. He also expressed concern that US military aid could be diverted away from Ukraine towards Israel during renewed tensions in the Middle East. 'We would like aid to Ukraine not to decrease because of this,' he said. 'Last time, this was a factor that slowed down aid to Ukraine.' Ukraine's military needs have been sidelined by the US in favour of supporting Israel, Mr Zelensky said, citing a shipment of 20,000 interceptor missiles, designed to counter Iran-made Shahed drones, which had been intended for Ukraine but were redirected to Israel. 'And for us it was a blow,' he said. 'When you face 300 to 400 drones a day, most are shot down or go off course, but some get through. We were counting on those missiles.' An air defence system, Barak-8, promised to Ukraine by Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu was sent to the US for repairs but never delivered to Ukraine, he added. The Ukrainian president conceded that momentum for the Coalition of the Willing, a group of 31 countries which have pledged to strengthen support for Ukraine against Russian aggression, has slowed because of US ambivalence over providing a backstop. 'This situation has shown that Europe has not yet decided for itself that it will be with Ukraine completely if America is not there,' he said. The offer of a foreign troop 'reassurance force' pledged by the coalition is still on the table 'but they need a backstop, as they say, from America' Mr Zelensky said. 'This means that suddenly, if something happens, America will be with them and with Ukraine.' The Ukrainian president also said the presence of foreign contingents in Ukraine would act as a security guarantee and allow Kyiv to make territorial compromises, which is the first time he has articulated a link between the reassurance force and concessions Kyiv is willing to make in negotiations with Russia. 'It is simply that their presence gives us the opportunity to compromise, when we can say that today our state does not have the strength to take our territories within the borders of 1991,' he said. But Europe and Ukraine are still waiting on strong signals from Mr Trump. Without major US sanctions against Russia, 'I will tell you frankly, it will be very difficult for us', Mr Zelensky said, adding that it would then fall on Europe to step up military aid to Ukraine. In other developments, Russia repatriated more bodies of fallen soldiers in line with an agreement reached during peace talks in Istanbul between Russian and Ukrainian delegations, Russian officials said on Saturday, cited by Russian state media. The officials said Ukraine did not return any bodies to Russia on Saturday. Ukraine's Co-ordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War confirmed in a statement that Russia had returned 1,200 bodies. The first round of the staggered exchanges took place on Monday. The agreement to exchange prisoners of war and the bodies of soldiers was the only tangible outcome of the talks in Istanbul on June 2. Continuing a renewed battlefield push along eastern and north-eastern parts of the 600-mile front line, the Russian Defence Ministry claimed on Saturday that its troops had captured another village in the Donetsk region, Zelenyi Kut. Russia launched 58 drones and decoys at Ukraine overnight into Saturday, according to the Ukrainian air force, which said its air defences destroyed 23 drones while another 20 were jammed. Russia's Defence Ministry said it shot down 66 Ukrainian drones overnight.

Dumb and Dumber To or Idiocracy? What to watch instead of Trump's big boy birthday party
What are you up to this weekend? If you're American, then there's only one right answer to the question: celebrating the 79th birthday of our lord and saviour, Donald John Trump. As you will know, and already have marked in your calendar, there's a big military parade happening in Washington DC on Saturday 14 June. Nominally this is to mark the US army's 250th anniversary, but thanks to the machinations of time and space it happens to fall on Trump's birthday: the parade has been widely branded as a big boy birthday party for the president. If you can't get to DC to physically watch Trump's parade then I'm sure you're desperate to watch it on TV. ABC News, which recently dropped its correspondent Terry Moran for a social media post calling Stephen Miller, the Trump administration deputy chief of staff a 'world class hater', plans to cover the parade across programs and platforms, beginning 6pm on Saturday. Networks such as CBS and NBC seem to have relegated coverage to their streaming channels. Fox and NewsNation, meanwhile, will be going all out for dear leader's celebrations. Which will be lavish: the event is costing as much as $45m, not including all the damage that military vehicles are going to do to the roads in DC. And the best part of all this? You, the taxpayer, are footing the bill! Who needs money for schools and infrastructure, eh? We the people want to see big tanks, goose-stepping soldiers and missiles that go boom. In the event that you, in fact, do not want to see these things then I do have some alternatives for you. Please find below a helpful list of things to watch on Saturday other than Trump's birthday parade. As I'm a little brown woman on a green card I'd like to make very clear that I am not encouraging you to snub Trump. Nope, all of the below are their own sort of homage to the man we are so lucky to have as president. Ulrich Mühe's Oscar-winning drama is set in East Berlin in the 1980s, before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Capt Gerd Wiesler is a Stasi (secret police) officer who is initially loyal to the regime until he starts to empathize with the people he spies on. Wiesler must choose between loyalty to an oppressive regime and being a good person. Eventually he chooses the latter. The movie reportedly had some real-life consequences. In 2014, 43 Israeli intelligence veterans refused to serve in Palestinian territories because of the widespread surveillance of innocent residents. According to the New York Times, one of the Israeli captains had a moral awakening after watching The Lives of Others. 'I felt a lot of sympathy for the victims in the film of the intelligence,' the captain said. 'But I did feel a weird, confusing sense of similarity, I identified myself with the intelligence workers. That we were similar to the kind of oppressive intelligence in oppressive regimes really was a deep realization that makes us all feel that we have to take responsibility.' Much like Trump 2.0, this Jim Carrey romp is a terrible sequel that should never have happened. There is a meandering plot involving a kidney transplant and a pork chop but the real drama here actually comes from how the film was made. From 2009 to 2015, more than $4.5bn was 'misappropriated' from a Malaysian government fund and laundered in various ways across the world. In 2016 and 2017 the justice department claimed millions of dollars from that fund were funneled to a production company to make The Wolf of Wall Street, Dumb and Dumber To and Daddy's Home. Now that 'daddy' Trump (as Tucker Carlson likes to call him) is home in the White House, it looks like money laundering is going to be made great again. Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation's policy blueprint for Trump's second term, calls for Congress to 'repeal the Corporate Transparency Act', which makes money laundering harder by requiring limited liability companies to disclose their owners. Asif Kapadia's drama-doc takes place in (you guessed it!) 2073, 37 years after 'The Event', which is an unspecified disaster that changed the world. The film opens with dystopian footage from Gaza with the chilling insinuation that soon everywhere will look like Gaza; soon all of us will be treated like Palestinians. Trumps loom large in 2073: it features Ivanka Trump celebrating her 30th year ruling over a dystopian police state. 'That [sequence] where Ivanka Trump is celebrating her 30th year in power is there because the idea of a two-term American presidency, I don't think, will be around forever,' Kapaida told Variety. Big military parades, however? Those might be around forever even if we're all living in bunkers or (as is the case in 2073), the ruins of shopping malls and trying to dodge drones trying to detect everyone undesirable to the state. A bunch of middle-aged friends go on a camping trip and are murdered by a disillusioned door-to-door orange salesman whose weapon of choice is his prosthetic hook and a bag of oranges. I know it sounds ludicrous but suspend your disbelief. We live in ludicrous times. This dystopian thriller is set in 2027 when decades of pollution-induced human infertility have left society on the brink of collapse. '[W]hat would happen to us all, psychologically, if the end of the world was at hand?' the Guardian's Peter Bradshaw asked in a review of the film. '[One character says] that he personally gets by from day to day by simply not thinking about what is happening, and his stunned, bleak acquiescence in the creeping horror of global death is symptomatic of the vast spiritual sterility which ushered in the catastrophe in the first place.' If that sounds bleak then the good news is that, come 2026, we might get a remake called Children of Musk where humanity is saved by Elon Musk donating his sperm to everyone and sending all his kids to Mars. This documentary on El Salvador's civil war is available on a number of platforms. Probably good for people in the US to know a thing or two about the country in case you end up getting shipped there. Stanley Kubrick's famous satire deals with a mad-dog American general called Jack Ripper who goes rogue and initiates a nuclear attack ('Wing Attack Plan R') on the Soviet Union. (Like many people in the Trump administration, by the way, General Ripper is absolutely obsessed with fluoride, believing it to be part of a communist conspiracy to '[pollute] our precious bodily fluids'.) An ineffectual president called Merkin Muffley convenes a crisis meeting to try and stop a doomsday scenario. I won't tell you how it ends. But I will say that you should probably just stop worrying and learn to love all of Trump's big, beautiful bombs. In Mike Judge's anti-corporation cult hit, the meek don't inherit the earth, the morons do. An average Joe called Joe is placed in hibernation via a US army experiment and wakes up in 2505 where the most popular show on The Violence Channel is called Ow, My Balls! and everyone is … how do you say in English? ... unintelligent. In a 2017 interview, Terry Crews, who played President Camacho in the film, called it 'so prophetic in so many ways it actually scares people'. And its Urban Dictionary entry reads: 'A movie that was originally a comedy, but became a documentary.' Elon Musk, meanwhile, has shared the opening scene to try and scare intelligent-identifying people into having kids. Perhaps Musk has watched the film too many times, however, because he appears to have morphed into one of his characters. When the billionaire, sporting sunglasses indoors, theatrically wielded a chainsaw at CPAC earlier this year it drew numerous comparisons to President Camacho's machine-gun-waving showmanship in the movie. And that showmanship, of course, will be nothing compared to the big guns at Trump's birthday parade. Goodbye the rule of law and a government of the people; hello dumbocracy.
