Good morning and welcome to Newsweek’s summary of Tuesday’s national, regional and international newspapers.
New York Post
The New York Post splashes on a story of a man who it says crossed into the U.S. illegally four times. The suspected El Salvadoran gang member is accused by police of raping and murdering a mother of five in Maryland.
Los Angeles Times
The Los Angeles Times runs a story that school officials are considering a cell phone ban. Kids are distracted in class by social media and there are concerns over abuses such as cyberbullying, the paper reports. The main image is of a helicopter battling the wildfires that are burning at several spots across California.
The Washington Post
The Washington Post reports that President Joe Biden will today announce a policy to allow hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants married to U.S. citizens to apply for legal residency. It also features a dispatch from Kyiv that reports on Ukraine mirroring Russia’s policy of releasing convicts from prison to enlist and fight in the war.
The Wall Street Journal
The Wall Street Journal leads on a story about the Department of Justice (DOJ) considering prosecuting Boeing over two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019. The department took action last month after a panel of another Boeing plane flew off during a flight, the paper reports. The DOJ has accused the aviation giant of violating a preexisting corporate probation deal for a fraud conspiracy charge. Boeing told the Journal it believed it has lived up to its commitments under the deal.
The New York Times
The New York Times runs two prominent stories on the Israel-Hamas war. The first is on how the lack of proper medical facilities is leading to a huge number of amputees. The second covers the announcement of the pause in fighting during the day in parts of the southern Gaza Strip, which has raised hopes that more food and aid will be able to reach those in need. In a front page heavy on international news, the Times also runs a dispatch from Ghana on how easier access to contraception is altering the lives of African women.
USA Today
USA Today features a story on service dogs that are helping veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder. It also runs a story on “predator catchers” who operate a “ragtag network” with the aim of catching and shaming people they believe would abuse children. The paper says it has found evidence of their stings in around three-quarters of U.S. states in recent years.
