This is NPR. People are constantly coming up with ideas about what might be going on in other people's heads. And as NPR's Neil Greenfield-Boyce explains, a new study suggests the same thing is done by apes.
Americans have been seeing steady increases in home values in many parts of the country, but some of that is expected to be tempered by climate change. That's according to a new study from the climate research company First Street, which estimates high insurance costs and homeowners avoiding some riskier neighborhoods. could eventually lead to nearly $1.5 trillion drop in home values.
So far, any sign of price declines, at least on a national level, though, has been hard to find, where some parts of the country, including California, have already seen sharply higher insurance costs. Oil prices closed up 63 cents a barrel. This is NPR.
More from NPR's Brian Mann. Kennedy was himself a heroin user for more than a decade and lacks medical training, but he's long been a critic of antidepressant medications, often referred to as SSRIs. During testimony, Kennedy said this.
That claim doesn't match the science. Heroin is highly addictive in almost all users. But a study published in the medical journal The Lancet last summer found significant withdrawal symptoms only affect about one in 35 people who use antidepressants. Brian Mann, NPR News.
Trump officials say they've arrested roughly 400 migrants with criminal records. Speaking on Fox News, White House adviser Stephen Miller said initial immigration operations have already arrested and removed what he called some of the most vicious criminals in this country. But former acting director of U.S.
Immigration and Customs John Sandwick told NPR enforcement actions carried out so far aren't a significant increase. I think these operations, this initial surge is business as usual.
NPR found migrant arrests varied over time during the Biden administration, but federal agents were already arresting more than 100 migrants per day with criminal convictions or charges pending before Trump took office. Brian Mann, NPR News, New York.
Good morning, Leila.
This is what it sounded like just before dawn as air defenses began to fire here in Kiev. Military officials say Russia targeted the city with drones packed with explosives. At least two civilians were killed and six others injured. And this attack set one apartment building on fire.
Well, these New Year's Eve addresses are a tradition here in Ukraine. Zelensky was, of course, once a popular actor, and he's known for giving powerful speeches. So a lot of Ukrainians I spoke to were really waiting for this moment last night. They wanted to hear his take on the crisis. And Zelenskyy last night described the situation on the front lines as extremely, extremely difficult.
But his speech then turned to a kind of pep talk where he said Ukraine, with the support of allies, including the U.S., is forcing Russia to pay a steep price. You paid the occupiers back, Zelenskyy said. You brought the war back to Russia.
Well, Ukraine is finding ways to punch back. And let me describe some of that. The Russian army, and this is important, appears to be losing more than 30,000 soldiers killed and wounded every month. Last summer, of course, Ukraine invaded Russia in a surprise move. They still occupy a chunk of the Kursk region.
Last month, Ukraine's spy agency claimed credit for assassinating a top Russian general in Moscow. And Ukraine is launching frequent drone attacks of its own, striking industrial and military targets deep inside Russia. But Leila, every military analyst I talk to, even members of Ukraine's general staff, they say that all hasn't been enough. Ukraine is still on the back foot.
They're facing a desperate manpower shortage and deep fatigue among their soldiers.
Yeah, they're frightened. You know, there are growing doubts about support from allies. On Monday, the Biden administration announced another $2.5 billion in military aid. But President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in January 20th. Trump's promise to push for a quick end to this war. And he's voiced ambivalence about supporting Ukraine's war effort.
And then there's a second huge question here. How or if Ukraine can muster more soldiers for its exhausted army? And that all adds up to deep uncertainty. I spoke last night with Yaroslav Mishkov. He's 24 years old.
So there's a lot of pessimism here, especially among young people I've been talking to. Meshkov told me one of his best friends had just been conscripted into the army. So this New Year's, he and his friends weren't celebrating.
Thank you.
Jimmy Carter's four years in the White House were marked by a number of crises. There was the hostage crisis with Iran in which 52 Americans were held captive for over a year. An oil embargo caused long lines and spiraling prices for gasoline. It led to Carter's so-called malaise speech in 1979. It is a crisis of confidence.
