Emails reveal EPA official with Biden, DNC ties took over OH derailment response
(NewsNation) — Newly uncovered emails reveal authorities broke protocol when communicating risks following a train derailment and controlled burn in Ohio despite fears from residents experiencing health problems. Three days after officials blew up five train cars of vinyl chloride in East Palestine, Ohio, the Environmental Protection Agency declared the town safe for residents and allowed them back into their homes. People in the area complained they were getting sick, experiencing rashes, nosebleeds and respiratory issues. Judge issues stop of deportation for Boulder attacker's family Now, internal EPA emails obtained by NewsNation through the Freedom of Information Act reveal internal disagreement over what to tell residents. 'If we say that the water is safe, and the air is safe, we believe it, because we've tested it, and the data shows it,' an email from EPA head Michael Regan read. One email discusses the dissatisfaction people were expressing with the official response. 'It appears the messaging they are using is that there are 'no detections of any issues' and people are not satisfied with that answer,' one read. Then, an EPA official from headquarters, with ties to the Democratic National Committee and the Biden campaign, took over East Palestine messaging to 'combat the disinfo that's happening on social media.' 'What really stands out to me is that this was early on in the response and this broke protocol,' said Government Accountability Project Senior Environmental Officer Lesley Pacey. 'They had not done this before. This is something that is new to the EPA, and there was some pushback internally over it.' Musk calls for killing House's 'big, beautiful bill' It set off alarm bells, with a director of communications at the agency voicing concern about the takeover. 'The site is the responsibility of the region, and we are definitely breaking protocol by allowing anyone other than the PIO or on-scene folks to edit and modify these pages,' the official said. 'I don't agree with this approach and the immediacy of the request.' Recent reporting from NewsNation revealed that the White House was aware of the health concerns and potential future cancer clusters yet publicly stated the opposite. 'They assured the public that they had done massive testing, that the air and water was safe, that they were monitoring things and not to worry,' Pacey said. 'But now, in light of the FOIAs that we've discovered with the EPA and FEMA and the White House and National Security Council, understanding the nature of the health impacts and the potential for cancer clusters, it really kind of raises more red flags. Was this part of the cover-up?' Active shooter incidents down by 50% in 2024, FBI reports One EPA veteran who spoke with NewsNation said the decision to break protocol could have been due to the size of the disaster. But on the other hand, it begs the question of why the administration didn't bring in health risk assessors, sampling experts and legal experts instead of a political spin doctor? NewsNation has reached out to the EPA for comment and has not received a response as of this writing. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Champions League final free TV channel and UK kick-off time
Champions League final free TV channel and UK kick-off time Inter and PSG face off in the Champions League final in Munich tonight - here is how to watch it on TV for free Inter will be trying to get their hands on this for the fourth time, but for PSG, it would be their maiden trophy in this competition. (Image: (Photo by Michael Regan - UEFA/UEFA via Getty Images) ) Inter take on Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League final tonight. It will be the first-ever Champions League encounter between the two sides, with PSG in their first final since the 2020 defeat to Bayern Munich. The last time Inter lifted the coveted trophy was in 2010 under the leadership of legendary manager Jose Mourinho. They secured an historic treble that season. PSG did not play well during the league phase, finishing in 15th place. However, they came to life in the knockout rounds with strong performances against Liverpool and Arsenal. Inter were very different, finishing fourth and being consistent throughout. Having won the Champions League with Barcelona 10 years ago, Luis Enrique is determined to win PSG their first top Euro trophy. "What motivates me the most is to make history with Paris, which is what I came here for – winning their first Champions League title," began Enrique. "The first one is always the toughest. It's like Spain's first World Cup title. Someone should open the door and say: 'We can do it! If we did it, the next generation after us can do it.'" Playing in their second Champions League final in three years, Inter boss Simone Inzaghi says winning would be "the crowning achievement of a great job that started four years ago." "I have learned that hard work always pays off," he said. "Because the dedication they put into their work is the first thing a group must have. My staff and I always try to stimulate them in the best possible way, but it's them who put so much effort into every training session." Here's everything you need to know about the game. What time does the Champions League final kick-off? PSG v Inter kicks off at 8pm UK time on Saturday, May 31, at Munich Football Arena (Allianz Arena).

How to watch 2025 Champions League Final: live stream PSG vs Inter Milan for FREE

Credit: Photo by Michael Regan - UEFA/UEFA via Getty Images Saturday's Champions League final live stream is the showpiece few expected, one that will cap a redemption arc for the victor, and feel like a cruel joke at the expense of the runner-up. Below we have all the information on how to watch PSG vs Inter Milan from anywhere. Advertisement Both teams know what it's like to lose this game, Les Parisiens falling at the final hurdle in 2020 and the Nerazzurri in 2023, under Simone Inzaghi and with a near-identical team. Luis Enrique's vintage represents a clean break from the gaudy basketcase years – Messi, Neymar, Mbappe: are you watching? – but just as it was in the aftermath of QSi's 2011 takeover, UCL glory remains PSG's one and only ambition. It's somewhat satisfying that PSG and Inter starred in the standout ties of the competition. Inter was a byword for defensive solidity after conceding a single goal through the league phase – but that delirious 7–6 victory over Barcelona has changed everything. Denzel Dumfries got two goals and three assists, and is every bit as dangerous as Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, from set-pieces in particular. PSG's toughest tests came against Liverpool and Aston Villa, and although they dominated both ties, the jeopardy came from their profligacy in front of goal, a wastefulness they haven't yet managed to shed. Everyone knows the blueprint by now, with Vitinha alternating relentlessly between hassling opponents and hogging the ball, and Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia breaking hard and fast, but nobody's been able to stop it. However, the same applied to Barcelona's high line before Inzaghi came up with the answers.

Champions League magic, Club World Cup controversy: A blockbuster Saturday of soccer's contrasts
A blockbuster Saturday of soccer will begin with a game that needs no introduction. At 3 p.m. ET, 9 p.m. in Munich, the 2025 Champions League final will ignite. Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain will vie for the grandest prize in club football. Both are behemoths, rich and talented, so much so that they are also among the favorites at this summer's Club World Cup. Which brings us to Saturday's nightcap, a game that needs every introduction. At 10:30 p.m. ET, 7:30 p.m. in Los Angeles, LAFC and Club América will vie for one last place in that Club World Cup. Advertisement Globally, their 11th-hour playoff pales in comparison to the Champions League final. It has no precedent nor built-in prestige. It is a qualifier for an unproven tournament, one that neither LAFC nor América would have realistic hopes of winning. PSG and Inter, on the other hand, are playing to actually win a competition that's far more prestigious. One will enter the Club World Cup perched on a throne that many consider to be atop the sport. But here in North America, when Yahoo Sports asked TelevisaUnivision executive Olek Loewenstein about the Club World Cup's most attractive teams, and specifically about where Club América would rank if it qualified, he didn't hesitate. 'Oh, No. 1,' Loewenstein said. That, in part, is why this novel game is happening — and why it is, in FIFA's words, a 'blockbuster bout' in its own right. LAFC's BMO Stadium is sold out, with the cheapest resale tickets priced north of $200. While América regularly packs stadiums across the continent, even for friendlies, Saturday's game brings unique stakes. The winner will get at least $9.55 million in guaranteed prize money, and a global stage that neither club has ever had. Hype, it seems, is building. Advertisement But it's a different type of hype than the one overtaking Paris, Milan and Munich. It has been manufactured in months, rather than developed over decades. And it epitomizes the contrasts between the UEFA Champions League and the Club World Cup, which is, in some ways, the UCL's upstart challenger. The stage is set in Munich — and so is the official match ball for the 2025 UEFA Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan. (Photo by Michael Regan - UEFA via Getty Images) (Michael Regan - UEFA via Getty Images) The controversial Club World Cup playoff Perhaps now is the time for the Club World Cup introduction, and the explanation of a playoff that, a month ago, did not yet exist. The field for the inaugural 32-team, quadrennial club tournament had been set since the fall. North America's representatives were seemingly finalized when Pachuca won the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup, the region's only known route to the Club World Cup. Advertisement But then, in October, FIFA released the Club World Cup's regulations. Article 10 prohibited the participation of two clubs who share an owner — which, for Pachuca and fellow Mexican club León, became a problem. Both are owned by Grupo Pachuca. In March, citing this rule, FIFA expelled León, the 2023 CONCACAF champs, from its tournament. León players decried the 'grave,' 'brutal injustice' — 'football is stained by this,' James Rodríguez said — but FIFA was already considering replacements. Its rules gave it significant discretion. And its plan soon became clear. The Club World Cup's qualification criteria gave FIFA five or six realistic options. It could choose the Columbus Crew or LAFC, the runners-up to Pachuca and León in the last two CONCACAF finals. Or it could turn to its CONCACAF rankings, where Club América was the top unqualified team; Costa Rica's Alajuelense was the top team from a country with less than two participants; and the Philadelphia Union were the top team from a country with less than two standard qualifiers. The criteria stipulated that 'a cap of two clubs per country is applied' to those attempting to qualify via rankings. FIFA ignored that stipulation, picked LAFC and América, and pitted them against each other in this one-off 'play-in.' Advertisement It is, in many ways, the perfect high-stakes appetizer for the Club World Cup. It's also par for the tournament's course. With skepticism and resistance dogging its launch, and with a need to sell tickets, broadcast rights and sponsorships, FIFA has reached for star power. It gave Lionel Messi's Inter Miami a 'host country' berth in October. More recently, FIFA president Gianni Infantino has talked up the possibility that Cristiano Ronaldo could join one of the qualified teams less than three weeks before kickoff. And now, FIFA will get either Major League Soccer's most valuable club or Mexico's winningest. LAFC was MLS' pre-Messi glamor club. América is the continent's most popular. They will duel in prime time for a place in Group D alongside Flamengo, ES Tunis and Chelsea. The magic of the Champions League The Champions League final, on the other hand, does not have a sexy headliner. It does not have Real Madrid, nor Barcelona, nor an English Premier League power. It is the first final without them or Bayern Munich in over two decades. Some casual American fans might not find it all that intriguing. Advertisement And yet, it will almost certainly be the most-watched sporting event on Earth in 2025. Even with Lautaro Martínez and Ousmane Dembélé — rather than Ronaldo or Messi, or Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappé — as the stars, it hardly needs hype manufactured. And it does not need to be sold as 'the $26 million game,' even though its prize pot is larger than the Club World Cup's. It is lucrative, and increasingly commercialized, yes, but its appeal is not about money. Its appeal is simple: It's the Champions League. There are surely some fans and soccer execs who are bummed that Barcelona isn't playing in it. Ratings won't break records. Narratives, beyond PSG's unlikely resurgence and a possible first title, might not break through into the casual fan's consciousness. Advertisement But there is magic in this competition, and in this singular match. Magic sourced in simplicity. For 70 years, the best clubs in Europe — which are almost always the best clubs in the world — have battled for supremacy. And inevitably, special things have happened. So, you wouldn't dare bet against more special things on Saturday. You might not know the magicians, yet, but you don't need to; and soon, you will. Inter and PSG might not give us a 13- or nine-goal thriller, as they did in the semis and quarters, respectively; but they'll surely give us drama, and emotions, all of which will sell itself.
