The Philippine coastguard says it's still too dangerous to board the ferry, but they fear people are trapped inside. Also: a port city in Yemen is captured by the Houthi rebel group. Donald Trump promises $5,000 to every adult American if Republicans win the midterm elections. The commander and pilot of the Artemis II space mission retire from spaceflight.
