Summary

The NTSB is investigating a deadly cargo plane crash in Miami, focusing on whether EMAS safety systems could have prevented the tragedy. A privacy group challenges the Trump administration's delayed efforts to compile voter lists, citing a judge's finding that the project is likely unconstitutional. The report also covers the resumption of flights in Jakarta after volcanic ash closures, the restarting of a barrier project to stop invasive carp from reaching the Great Lakes, and signs of improvement in the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
