Students had been on school property with tents and signs.       Flood waters are causing the San Jacinto River to continue to rise, prompting mandatory evacuations in suburban Houston. More than nine-inches of rain has fallen and the river is running 20-feet above normal. Experts predict it will surge another eight-feet today.       The U.S. United Nations ambassador says Russia targeted a U.S. reporter when Evan Gershkovich [[ Gers-co-vich ]] was arrested and jailed. Linda Thomas-Greenfield is calling it "pernicious targeting by the Kremlin." The Biden administration has been working on a prisoner swap, but has yet to finalize a deal.       Toxic workplaces are causing one in five American workers to leave their current positions. That's according to a new survey from the American Psychological Association, which showed that 19-percent of employees in the U.S. say their workplace is somewhat or very toxic. Those who reported a toxic workplace also were shown to be more than three times as likely to say they've experienced harm to their mental health at work.       The NBA Playoffs continue tonight with two games.
