Truck traffic jams at both sides of Texas-Mexico border

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has implemented a new vehicle inspection policy at the Texas-Mexico border that’s led to traffic jams for miles on both sides. Abbott accuses the Biden administration of not doing enough to secure the southern US border, but the White House says the new policy hurts American businesses and consumers. And Israel and the West Bank are on edge after one of the worst outbursts of violence broke out in years. This violence comes during the confluence of three major religious holidays in Israel: Ramadan, Passover and Easter. Plus, Ukraine’s oldest-running children’s choir was going to mark its 50th anniversary with a world tour this year. The war made a tour impossible, but they’re finding other ways to get their music out into the world.
