VPM's daily newscast collects all your local stories in a 5-10 minute format to keep you informed, educated, and engaged. Hosted by Benjamin Dolle, episodes are recorded the night before for a 7 a.m. release, Tuesday through Friday.

In today's episode: Virginia isn't ready for phase 3 of our reopening yet, but Gov. Ralph Northam issued guidelines for when that happens; COVID-19's disproportionate impact on members of the Latinx community; the injunction blocking removal of the Lee statue was extended; virtual celebrations of Juneteenth planned; updates on the upcoming primary and drive-up ballots; and a report on refugee resettlement in Virginia, part of our new podcast: Resettled.
