RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne with stories about getting there. Two boys in Russia managed to tunnel out of their kindergarten. Their mission - to buy a Jaguar sports car. The school says the boys spent days digging into the sandbox and under the fence and almost made it to the dealership before being spotted.

In America, Matthew Ahn's race from train to train earned him the world speed record for hitting every subway station in New York in just under 22 hours. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
