A Saudi Aramco helicopter crashed at approximately 6:00 AM today in Ras Tanura, the kingdom's main oil export hub in the Eastern Province, killing all 14 people on board.

All victims were Saudi nationals.

An investigation is underway in coordination with the relevant authorities.

No preliminary cause has been released.

Bernie Sanders:

After receiving the largest tax break in history from Trump, some 900 billionaires in our country became $2.2 trillion richer.

One man, Elon Musk, a trillionaire... owns three times more wealth than the bottom 50% of American households.

Eleven people were killed after a skydiving plane crashed shortly after takeoff near Tomblaine in eastern France on Sunday.

The victims included the pilot, five student skydivers, and five instructors.

Bernie Sanders:

Six large media conglomerates control about 90% of what the American people see, hear and read.

Trump's supporters have recently bought up CBS and they will soon own CNN.

You run a good campaign, you know what happens to you?

The billionaires and their super PACs will spend tens of millions of dollars to defeat you. That is not democracy.

Bernie Sanders:

No more spending billions of dollars on the genocidal Netanyahu government in Israel.

Zelensky:

For centuries, Russia defamed his name. It wanted Ukrainians to look at their own history through foreign eyes. It convinced our people that Ivan Mazepa was a traitor—but that was a lie. And that lie has been defeated forever.

Today, we honor our outstanding statesman, military leader, patron of the arts, and Hetman of the Cossack state—Ivan Mazepa.

A figure of such historical significance deserves a full monument in the capital of our country.

Where Lenin once fell, Mazepa will stand firmly.

Zelensky:

Thirty years ago, Ukrainians stopped living under the old—and above all, someone else's—law. They began building a new life, their own life, on new foundations and new principles.

The foremost of those principles is Ukraine's right to be itself: sovereign, indivisible, and independent.

These are the fundamental principles of our Constitution.

GCC Secretary General Jasem Al Budaiwi on the rumored $300 billion Iran reconstruction package:

For the 300, I have not seen anything. It was not introduced to me, nor to other GCC countries.

We don't know anything about it.

Interviewer: Didn't you ask him?

Al Budaiwi: Why would I ask him if it's not introduced to me?

We don't know what is the 300, who's going to fund the 300, who's going to be the beneficiary of the 300.

Father Valentyn Horokhovskyi:

Every day I witness the grief and suffering that Russia has brought through its war.

While speaking about "Holy Rus" and the defense of Orthodoxy, the enemy destroys churches and kills people.

I see it with my own eyes. I live among these ruins in Kherson.

Zelensky:

The wounded churches of Ukraine—attacked by evil, scarred by Russian bullets, shattered by guided bombs and missiles.

Great cathedrals in our largest cities, and small churches in our villages. Churches, mosques, synagogues—740 religious sites across Ukraine have been struck by Putin.

That is who we are fighting. That is what our enemy is.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on China:

We should treat them as a potential adversary, not as an adversary.

I'm ashamed and embarrassed and sad and depressed we are so reliant on them for certain of these other things.

China — they are surrounded by Japan, Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and Russia.

That's a tough part of the world. And they've pissed them all off — and not because of us, all on their own.

Putin:

Russia has encountered an unprecedented kind of pressure from the Western elites.

They wanted to impose a strategic defeat on us on the battlefield. They wanted to destabilize our society.

But they fail at everything.

Putin:

We see Ukrainian forces losing their positions on the frontline.

That's why they resort to terrorism within Russia.

Putin:

We are addressing all the challenges, including the terrorist attacks against our infrastructure.

And we will also address challenges such as demographics, and we will save our traditional values.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Iran:

If they were going to get nuclear weapons, that would have been probably the largest disaster in mankind ever.

And maybe the end of mankind as we know it.

Putin:

I am sure our elections will have open and free competition.

Adhering to these democratic institutions is a guarantee for the strength of our nation.

Putin:

Russian people know that our "United Russia" party politicians have never made false or empty promises.

Putin:

A society can only be free if it's based on the free expression of tradition and culture.

A person cannot be free if his people are not free within its country.

Putin:

Russia can only be a strong and independent country, or there will be no Russia.

There are only two paths.

Putin:

They try to remove us as a global power that stands against evil.

They have always failed. They will fail always.

Putin to the politicians of his party:

You need to spend less time in offices and more time in the field, talking to the people, meeting with folks, and understanding them.
