From ABC news, I am Daria Albinger. It could be a break in the case of a missing Florida
man Brian Laundrie. Authorities have
wanted to talk to him since his fiancé Gabby Petito disappeared. Her body later found in a national park in
Wyoming. “Investigators confirmed now
not only are the remains human that were found in the park adjacent to wildlife
reserve, that police and agents had been searching for weeks, but items found
near the human remains belong to Brian Laundrie. FBI special agent in charge, Michael McPherson;
‘Investigators found what appears to be human remains along with personal items,
such as a backpack and notebook, belonging to Brian Laundrie.’ The area where the remains were found was
until recently covered in swamp water.
Agents were reportedly led there by Brian Laundrie’s parents. Alex Stone, ABC News.”

The FDA
is recommending booster doses of Moderna and Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19
vaccines. The agency is also suggesting
that the boosters could be mixed or matched.
The CDC will have the final say.

The
Senate’s failed to get the 60 votes needed to begin debate on the voting rights
act. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
blasted the Republicans for blocking it; “By preventing the Senate from
functioning as it was intended, Republicans in this body are permitting states
to criminalize giving food and water to voters at the polls.” Republicans say voting is a state’s issue.

President
Biden pushing a scaled-back 2 trillion-dollar domestic spending package in a
visit to his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania; “In the Build Back Better

nation in a big way.” The White House is
giving lawmakers until the end of next week to reach a deal.

Stocks
closed higher today. You’re listening to ABC News.
7-1) I am Susan
Li, and this is the Fox Business report.
“Stocks ended higher with the Nasdaq and
S&P 500 closing in the green for the fifth straight session as strong
corporate earnings reports eased investors’ concerns over broader economic
slowdown. Healthcare companies were
among the gainers with Johnson & Johnson leading the charge after the pharmaceutical
giant posted a larger profit in its third quarter than a year earlier. The Dow rising 199 points, the Nasdaq up 107,
S&P 500 up 33.
7-2) And more people were watching Netflix in the
summer quarter. The streaming giant
reported earnings beating Wall Street estimates in its revenue in line with
forecast. Netflix added around 4.4 million
global paid subscribers, beating estimates as the company began to roll out a slew
of content like a popular ‘Squid Game’.
Netflix said it expects to add 8.5 million subscribers in the fourth
quarter.
That’s your Fox Business report. I am Hilarie Barsky, invested in you.”
