What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavone. A Minnesota prosecutor is calling on the public to share with investigators any recordings and evidence connected to the fatal incident involving an immigration agent and Minneapolis woman Renee Good. At the same time, the Department of Homeland Security is continuing its immigration enforcement activity in the Twin Cities. In Minneapolis, as in other locations across the nation, people are slated to rally and In response to Good's death and against ICE operations, NPR's Sergio Martinez Beltran has more from Minneapolis.
What recent events have sparked protests in Minneapolis?
People in Minneapolis continue to protest President Trump's immigration crackdown in the city and in the state of Minnesota. And they're doing it in the streets. You can hear in the background there is a noise demonstration outside a hotel in downtown Minneapolis where organizers say ICE agents are staying. And people here told me they want to send the Trump administration a couple of messages. One, that they're still mourning the death of Rene Good. and that they don't want immigration agents in their community. More protests are expected over the weekend. The Trump administration has said it will continue its immigration crackdown in the state of Minnesota. Sergio Martinez Beltran, NPR News, Minneapolis.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he thinks Israel will be able to wean itself off U.S. military aid over the next decade. He made the comments in an interview with The Economist. NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports.
Netanyahu was recently in Florida visiting President Trump and says he told the U.S. leader that Israel has come of age and developed, quote, incredible capabilities. In the interview with The Economist, the Israeli leader did not set any specific deadlines, but he says he wants to taper off the military aid within the next 10 years. The U.S. and Israel signed a 10-year commitment during the Obama administration that amounts to about $3.8 billion a year, much of it in grants to buy U.S. military equipment. Netanyahu is Israel's longest-serving prime minister, but this could be a challenging election year for him. He often touts his relationship with President Trump. Michelle Kellerman, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
Protests that began in Iran over rising inflation have now spread across the country. And as the BBC's Sarah Namjoo reports, a nationwide Internet blackout now in its second day is doing little to quell the unrest.
They don't want them to send videos and footage. to the international media. And in the past, we've seen when the Internet is down, the shutdown kind of escalate and the government intensify the crackdown. We are receiving kind of a few videos from the capital and other city, mostly the capital, because I think people have more access to potentially a Starlink device. or other source of communication, but it's very, very limited.
The BBC's Sarah Namjoo. This is NPR News in Washington. A Ukrainian drone strike earlier today sparked a fire at an oil depot in Russia's Volgograd region, according to regional authorities. The attack is part of Ukraine's strategy targeting Russian energy sites. Russia, in turn, has been targeting Ukraine's power grid. More than 15 million people have gotten sick with flu in what federal officials are describing as a moderately severe flu season. NPR's Ping Wang has some tips for staying healthy as flu season continues for several more weeks.
There's still time to get a flu vaccine, especially for people who are older or have medical conditions that make them more vulnerable. The shot, which is covered by insurance, prepares the immune system to fight the virus so you're less likely to develop serious illness or have to go to the hospital if you get exposed to flu. Another way to prevent infection is to put more distance between yourself and people who are sick and to air out your indoor spaces by opening windows or using an air filter and cleaning countertops, door handles, and other frequently touched surfaces. If you do get sick, like many of us have, the CDC recommends staying home until you no longer have a fever and your other symptoms are getting better.
