The Gage County Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the city of Beatrice's desire to expand the wellhead protection district during a public hearing Tuesday at the courthouse. Rivera said the wells in the district provide potable water to Beatrice and about half of the population of Gage County.

Kim praised Russia for making what he cast as an enormously significant strategic move to support North Korea, which was founded in 1948 with the Soviet Union's backing.

The group stage of the 20-team tournament, especially its US leg, proved a low-scoring affair with no batter managing to score a hundred. Suryakumar needed 49 balls for his fifty against the United States, which is slow by the high standards of the world's top ranked T20 batter. T20 is considered a batter-friendly format but only three teams touched the 200-mark in the group stage of the tournament.
