Question: (CNN) Donald Trump's vice presidential search turned into a head-spinning melodrama Wednesday as candidates vying for the spot hopped on planes and phones to perform frenzied, last-minute try-outs. For much of the day, Indiana was the unlikely center of the political world -- all thanks to a flat tire. Trump's plane hit something when it landed Tuesday night, resulting in a popped tire, according to a source familiar with the process. That kept Trump in the state longer than he expected after campaigning with Gov. Mike Pence, setting off a last-minute scramble of high-profile travelers to the Hoosier State as the clock ticked down on his VP decision.Indianapolis is becoming a political hot spotTrump will make the announcement on Friday

Question: Islamic militants have unleashed a wave of simultaneous attacks on Egyptian army checkpoints in the northern Sinai Peninsula, killing at least 38 soldiers. The attacks came just two days after a ISIS car bomb assassinated one of the country’s top prosecutors, Hisham Barakat.

Question: (CNN) India's reported "surgical strike" across the border into Pakistani-controlled Kashmir on Wednesday brings India-Pakistan relations to their lowest point in almost a decade. But it will be celebrated not just by the Hindu nationalist supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but also by many other Indians who believe that their country has remained passive for too long in the face of repeated terror attacks by groups assisted and sheltered by the Pakistan army's powerful intelligence services. In truth, the strike itself does not represent a radical new policy. India conducted local cross-border raids through the 1990s and 2000s, usually as reprisals for particular attacks.

 Question:Overall, India remains constrained in what it can do to Pakistan for fear of a larger war, the associated nuclear risks, and the impact on _'s own diplomatic and economic well-being.
