Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingly.
What are the latest updates on President Trump's negotiations with Iran?
President Trump says negotiations with Iran are continuing to try to end more than three weeks of war in the Middle East. The New York Times first reported the Trump administration has presented Tehran with a 15-point peace plan to end the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes. This as Iran continues to deny its indirect talks with the U.S. The Associated Press reports the proposal has been received by Pakistani officials and it includes a rollback of Iran's nuclear program and monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Early on, Trump said he would only accept Iran's unconditional surrender. The National Transportation Safety Board says the fire truck involved in Sunday night's deadly runway collision at New York's LaGuardia Airport was not equipped with a transponder.
Two pilots aboard the Air Canada regional jet that hit the truck were killed. Several of the 72 passengers were seriously injured. Steve Kastenbaum is following the investigation.
Investigators zeroed in on what the people in LaGuardia's control tower could see on their screens before the crash.
ASDX is a runway safety system which allows air traffic controllers to track surface movement of aircraft and vehicles.
But NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said the controllers couldn't see information about the fire truck's exact location.
So in this case, that vehicle did not have a transponder.
It's not clear whether different controllers were talking to the pilot and the driver of the fire truck Sunday night.
There were two people in the cab, two people in the tower cab.
Investigators are set to interview the controllers soon. For NPR News, I'm Steve Kastenbaum in New York.
At the time of the collision, the fire truck was responding to a call about an odor involving a United Jet at LaGuardia. A jury in New Mexico says Meta violated state law by misleading consumers about the safety of its social media platforms. Taylor Velasquez with member station KUNM has more.
The owner of Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp is now on the hook for $375 million in civil penalties for violating New Mexico's consumer protection laws. New Mexico's Attorney General Raul Torres calls the verdict a historic win, making the state the first to hold a tech company liable for harming young people. Torres says Meta knew its platforms posed risks to children, ignored internal warnings, and misled the public. Meta says it will appeal. Either way, the state's case is not over. It's also asking the company to be required to change its business practices, for example, by implementing stronger age verification and removing predators from its platform. For NPR News, I'm Taylor Velazquez in Albuquerque.
In California, a jury in a federal case continues to deliberate whether Meta and YouTube should be held liable for harms to children. Meta is a financial supporter of NPR. This is NPR News. Democrats in Florida are celebrating Emily Gregory's win in yesterday's special election for a state House seat. She defeated Republican John Maples, a candidate backed by President Trump. That district includes the president's Mar-a-Lago estate. The seat was previously held by Republican Mike Caruso, who resigned to become Paul Beach County's clerk. Caruso won the seat by 19 points back in 2024. It's the latest special election win by a Democratic candidate in the U.S. since Trump won a second term in the White House.
A new survey shows nearly one-third of Americans have sought health advice using artificial intelligence. According to KFF, it's more common among younger people and those who lack access to health care, as NPR's Yuki Noguchi reports.
People under the age of 30 are far more likely to turn to AI, especially when it comes to advice on mental health.
What caused the deadly runway collision at LaGuardia Airport?
The KFF survey on health information and trust found they were three times more likely to seek emotional support from AI than those 50 and over. The ability to ask questions quickly and in private were big reasons people do so. But one in five people consulted AI because they either could not afford care or lacked a provider.
