New York Times reporters are subpoenaed after Air Force One reporting, newspaper says

WASHINGTON (AP) — The New York Times reports the Trump administration has subpoenaed several of its journalists after their report over security concerns with the new Air Force One. The Times says the subpoenas aim to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury Wednesday. There's no immediate response from the White House or Department of Justice to requests for comment from The Associated Press. The action constitutes an escalation in Trump's anti-press actions. The jet was gifted by Qatar and went in service last week. The paper reports the plane lacks some of the advanced security features of the older Air Force One. Trump denies there are any safety concerns.

Movie Review: The live-action 'Moana' is a lifeless carbon copy of an animated classic

Say what you will about them, but the Disney live-action remakes have at least given us a choice. Which would you rather see? A spirited, soaring animated “Moana,” or a purposeless remake featuring Dwayne Johnson with Fabio hair? Few of the live-action remakes, regardless of box-office receipts, are covered in glory. But “Moana,” directed by “Hamilton” veteran Thomas Kail, feels especially off course, offering little more than a lamentable swap of cartoon imagination for live-action do-over,” writes AP Film Writer Jake Coyle in his review. The lifeless result veers perilously close to “Saturday Night Live” parody or one of those joke parallel universes in the “Spider-Verse” movies.

In any language: English speakers are tuning into World Cup broadcasts in Spanish

MIAMI (AP) — Ashleigh Hallam teaches English at her local library in Indiana. She's brushing up on her Spanish by watching the World Cup. Many English speakers in the U.S. are tuning into Spanish broadcasts, even if they don't understand the language. Census figures show that about 20% of the U.S. is Hispanic, yet Telemundo points to Nielsen ratings to show that roughly half the World Cup viewers in the U.S. have watched at least some portion of some matches in Spanish. Viewers are drawn to the excitement of Spanish commentary, famed broadcaster Andrés Cantor’s “goooool” call, and the lack of commercial breaks. Some, like comedian Trevor Noah, prefer the uninterrupted coverage.
