TAPPER: Welcome back. Our Money Lead now, it looks like people are not exactly loving it, McDonalds today reporting a 10 percent drop in quarterly sales and earnings. That's just enough to beat Wall Street's paltry expectations, but McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook, still called the results disappointing especially since the company just unveiled a turnaround plan in May. The next big challenge is giving raises. McDonalds in April announced plans to give 90,000 workers more money. Calls for minimum wage hikes are only getting louder. It's a win for Uber, the popular ride-sharing app giving taxis a run for their money. New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio has put the brakes on his controversial plan to regulate the company, at least for now. De Blasio had proposed a cap on the number of licenses issued to Uber and other competitors like Lyft. Uber responded by launching a television campaign against the plan and even introduced a feature to its app that showed the delays if the regulations went through. New York, for its part is not chalking this up as a loss, since Uber has agreed to be conservative with its expansion in the city. I'm sure they'll keep that promise. Our out of this World Lead today, move over Pluto, we've got our sights on a new planet now. NASA today announcing they spotted earth's bigger older cousin. That's NASA's word, not mine, the first nearly earth-sized planet to be found in a zone that could sustain life. NASA cannot say for sure if the new planet named Kepler 452B has water or air, but it is the closest match yet to earth. It takes 385 days for this planet to orbit its star similar to our 365-day orbit around the sun. Since its some 6 billion years old, NASA says it had plenty of time to brew life. The planet is 1,400 light years from earth. Pluto meanwhile is just 300 some light minutes. That's it for THE LEAD. Turning you over to Wolf Blitzer in "THE SITUATION ROOM."
