JUDY WOODRUFF: The FBI now says
that its agents got a tip before
Saturday's attack on a synagogue

 

near San Diego, but
it came too late.

The bureau says it learned of
a threatening social media post
only minutes before a gunman

 

killed one person
and wounded three.

Separately, another California
man was arrested Friday, and
charged with planning to bomb

 

a white supremacist rally.

Prosecutors say he wanted
to retaliate for the attacks
on mosques in New Zealand.

We will explore the rise
of domestic terror right
after the news summary.

 

The leader overseas of
the Islamic State group
has been seen for the
first time in five years.

 

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
appeared today in a video.

He again claimed
responsibility for the
Easter bombings in Sri Lanka.

He said they were revenge
for the loss of the last
ISIS stronghold in Syria.

 

In Sri Lanka, Catholic clergy
are demanding a crackdown on
Islamic extremists after the

 

bombings there that left
more than 250 people dead.

Security forces patrolled again
today as the hunt for suspects
continued, but the archbishop

 

of Colombo warned there needs
to be far tougher action.

CARDINAL MALCOLM RANJITH,
Archbishop of Colombo
(through translator):
I want to state that

we may not be able to
keep people under control
in the absence of a
stronger security program.

 

We can't forever give them false
promises and keep them calm
to implement a proper program

 

in order that the people
don't take the law
into their own hands.

JUDY WOODRUFF: In the
meantime, Sri Lanka's
president today banned all
kinds of face coverings,

 

including veils worn
by Muslim women.

The U.S. military has fired
the commander overseeing
terror detainees at Guantanamo

 

Bay, Cuba.

A U.S. Southern Command
statement says that Navy Rear
Admiral John Ring was let go for

 

a loss of confidence in
his ability to command.

About 40 prisoners are
still held at Guantanamo.

That's down from
almost 700 in 2003.

Northern Mozambique endured
another day of heavy rain and
widespread flooding after a

 

tropical cyclone hit last week.

Meanwhile, the death toll
climbed today to at least 38.

The flooding has submerged
entire neighborhoods
under waist-high water
and triggered mudslides.

 

More than 35,000 homes
and businesses are
damaged or destroyed.

 

In Spain a far-right party will
sit in Parliament for the first
time in decades, the latest

 

sign of a trend across Europe.

Supporters of the Vox Party sang
and waved flags to celebrate
Sunday's election results.

 

Their leader defended opposition
to immigration, abortion and
gender equity laws this morning.

 

SANTIAGO ABASCAL, Vox
Party Leader (through
translator): We are not
extremists, not ultra-right

or anything like that.

We are saying things
that are common sense
for many Spaniards,
and we are saying them

with a great deal of
calm and tranquility.

JUDY WOODRUFF: The ruling
Socialists finished first in the
voting, but they face weeks of

negotiations to assemble
a governing coalition.

The head of Boeing today
defended the company's
safety record after two
fatal crashes of the

 

737 MAX airliner.

CEO Dennis Muilenburg
spoke at the company's
annual meeting in Chicago.

 

He acknowledged that bad sensor
data played a role in both
accidents, but he insisted

 

it wasn't the only factor.

DENNIS MUILENBURG, CEO,
Boeing: There are a chain
of events that occur.

It's not correct to attribute
that to any single item.

We will continually look for
opportunities to improve safety.

That's our responsibility
and that's part of
re-earning that trust.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Meanwhile,
Boeing disputed reports that
it had turned off an indicator

 

that could have warned of a
sensor failure in both crashes.

But the company said that
the warning will be activated
on all planes going forward.

 

The measles outbreak in
the U.S. is now officially
the worst in 25 years.

 

The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention said today that
704 cases have been reported

 

so far this year.

Three-quarters involved
children or teenagers.

On Wall Street today, the Dow
Jones industrial average gained
11 points to close at 26554.

 

The Nasdaq rose 15 points
and the S&P 500 added three.

 

And former Republican Senator
Richard Lugar of Indiana was
remembered today as a leading

 

voice on foreign policy and
someone who believed in working
across the political aisle.

 

He served six terms, chaired
the Foreign Relations
Committee and pushed to
dismantle Soviet nuclear

 

weapons after the Cold War.

In 2017, Lugar appeared with
former Congressman Lee Hamilton
on the "NewsHour" and warned

 

President Trump against
dismissing diplomacy.

RICHARD LUGAR (R), Former U.S.
Senator: He needs to indicate
that we are not going to

cut the budget of the State
Department, that we're not going
to cut foreign aid or potential

 

assistance even to starving
people around the world.

In other words, we really need a
burst of enthusiasm for American
humanitarianism, American

 

reach-out to other
countries and other people.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Lugar served
through 2012, when he lost a
reelection bid to a Tea Party

 

challenger.

He later worked to promote
civility in politics.

Richard Lugar was 87 years old.

Still to come on the "NewsHour":
the growing threat of white
supremacist terrorist attacks

in the U.S.; I sit down
with Democratic presidential
candidate Cory Booker;
Amy Walter and Tamara

 

Keith are here to talk 2020;
searching for the remains of
kidnapping victims in Colombia;

 

and much more.
