[Grammar] Which is correct, "announces" or "will announce", and "is" or "will be"?

Which is correct, "announces" or "will announce", and "is" or "will be"?

I'm a Japanese, studying English, but I'm not good at English since don't have experiences such as communicating native people so much.

By the way, I have 2 questions. I'd like to ask you what is two difference.

1. "announces" or "will announce"?
When I answered below the question of TOEIC…

Choose the best answer （1）～（3） at the below blank text.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody here should talk about the closing of the factory to other workers until Mr. Tucker [ ] it in the meeting next week.

(1) will announce
(2) announced
(3) announces

According to commentary, because of coming "until", the correct answer is (3).

But I selected (1), because it writes "next week" at the last text.
Mr.Tucker doesn't always announce "next week", so I chose (1).
What do you think?

2. "is" or "will be"?
On boarding the train in Japan, I hear two auto-voices.
One says "The next station is Shibuya. After Shibuya, is stopping Omote-Sando." (Tokyu Corp.)

The other says "The next station is Shibuya. After Shibuya, will be stopping Ebisu." (Japan East Railway Corp.)

Both Omote-Sando Sta. and Ebisu Sta. already exist as well as Shibuya. So I think the correct is "is". I don't know why occurring such a difference.

I'm waiting for your advice.

Yes, that's right.

On boarding the train in Japan, I hear two auto-voices.
One says "The next station is Shibuya. After Shibuya, is stopping Omote-Sando." (Tokyu Corp.)

The other says "The next station is Shibuya. After Shibuya, will be stopping Ebisu." (Japan East Railway Corp.)

Both of those are incorrect. Are you sure they say that? I think you have misheard. The correct way could be either After Shibuya, the train is stopping at Ebisu or After Shibuya, the train will be stopping at Ebisu.

In English, we commonly use the present simple tense to talk about the future.

Welcome to the forum, kousaku.

I see you asked the same questions in another forum.

"Please do not post the same question simultaneously to more than one forum. Doing so wastes our valuable time. Instead, post your question to one forum and wait for replies. If you're not satisfied with those replies, you can try another forum, but please indicate in your thread that you've already asked the same question elsewhere (provide a link), and outline why you were not satisfied with the answers you received already."

Or

The next station is Shibuya. The station after Shibuya is Ebisu.
