This is Apple News today.
On today's show, where foreign aid stands after widespread confusion from Trump's federal funding freeze.
How worried should we really be about bird flu

But first,
an American Airlines plane collided with an army helicopter
over the Potomac river near Ronald Reagan airport in Washington, D.C. last night.
Authorities say the plane was carrying around 60 passengers and four crew members
and the military helicopter is believed to have had three people on board.
Search and rescue operations were underway shortly after the incident was reported.
Video shows two aircraft from a distance colliding and a bright fireball lighting up the sky.
The crash happened around 9pm Eastern time and all flights from Reagan Airport were grounded.
This is still a developing story and you can follow the latest in the Apple News app.

and spreading a number of falsehoods.
