St. Louis International Film Festival: Vision
SUMMARY: The St. Louis International Film Festival features Dan Peres’ film “Vision,” which took several years to produce due to funding challenges exacerbated by COVID-19. The film, about a bullied high school student who discovers magical glasses from an old man, explores themes of perception and escape. It will be screened on November 9 at Lindenwood University and November 14 at BNB Theatre in Creve Coeur, with hopes of winning awards, possibly even an Oscar. Peres highlights the rich filmmaking talent in St. Louis and the support available through new tax credits and grants for local filmmakers.
Dan Parris, Director of the film ‘Vision’, joins the morning show to talk about the movie and the 33rd annual St. Louis International Film Festival, which takes place from Nov. 7-17 at various locations across St. Louis. For more information, visit cinemastlouis.org

Trump announces 30% tariffs against EU, Mexico to begin Aug. 1, rattling major US trading partners
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump announced 30% tariffs on the European Union and Mexico starting August 1, escalating tensions with key trade partners. Trump cited longstanding trade deficits and security concerns, accusing Mexico of insufficient action against drug trafficking despite border cooperation. The EU called for dialogue and warned of countermeasures, while leaders like Macron and Meloni urged negotiation to avoid trade wars. Mexico expressed disagreement, deeming the tariffs unfair, but its president remained optimistic about reaching better terms. The tariffs threaten to disrupt \$2 trillion in EU-U.S. trade, especially impacting European exports like pharmaceuticals, cars, and wine, and could redefine global trade norms.

These I-44 bridges in SGF are being demolished soon
SUMMARY: A major MoDOT project in Springfield, MO, has closed Interstate 44 this weekend between Kansas Expressway and West Bypass to demolish the aging Melville Road overpass, part of a broader effort to rebuild and widen the freeway from Route 125 in Strafford to the James River Freeway. The highway is being expanded from three to six lanes with upgraded signage, lighting, sound walls, and median barriers. Additional 1960s-era bridges over Broadway, Grant, and National Avenues will also be replaced, causing future closures. Further phases include rebuilding Kansas Expressway interchange in 2027 and replacing other overpasses on Division Street and nearby routes.
