Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
Chapter 2: What recent military actions has Israel taken in Lebanon?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Israel's military to expand its ground invasion of southern Lebanon. NPR's Daniel Estrin reports it comes as an Israeli soldier with U.S. citizenship was killed by Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The killed soldier was from New Haven, Connecticut. He moved to Israel to serve in the military. Israel has been expanding its ground invasion into neighboring Lebanon, creating what Israel calls a new buffer zone.
Chapter 3: How are federal courts handling immigration detention cases?
Netanyahu is now ordering it to be expanded. He says to thwart the threat of Hezbollah invading northern Israel and to push anti-tank missile fire farther away from the Israeli border. Netanyahu is facing pressure to protect residents of northern Israel who have not been evacuated from their homes and who face daily Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks.
In southern Israel, an Iranian missile attack hit a chemical plant, sparking a massive fire. Authorities ruled out a leak of hazardous substances.
Chapter 4: What impact did the recent sell-off have on Wall Street?
Daniel Estrin, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
Federal courts in parts of the country are straining under an unprecedented flood of habeas corpus petitions from people trying to get released from immigration detention. NPR's Martin Kosty reports in some courts, the immigration petitions are delaying other court business.
Last year, the Trump administration restricted detainees' right to post bonds to get out while their cases were pending.
Chapter 5: What are the latest job market trends in the U.S.?
Many are now turning to federal courts. In California's Eastern District, home to three ICE detention centers, Judge Troy L. Nunley says he and his colleagues are getting hundreds of habeas corpus requests a month.
Chapter 6: What major art exhibit is currently on display in the U.S.?
That's a liberty interest. A liberty interest is very, very important. And if someone is unlawfully detained and they make their case to the court, we would be remiss if we waited to get them out of custody. He says most petitioners win their release, but the time to process them is interfering with the federal court's other cases.
Chapter 7: How is the film 'Project Hail Mary' performing at the box office?
Martin Koste, NPR News.
It'll be a short week ahead on Wall Street, and as NPR's Scott Horsley reports, traders may welcome the break after a big sell-off last week.
All the major stock indexes fell last week as the U.S. war with Iran continued to scramble energy markets. Crude oil prices topped $100 a barrel, and gasoline prices climbed to about a dollar a gallon higher than they had been before the war. This coming week brings a fresh look at the U.S. job market. We'll find out on Friday how many jobs employers added or subtracted in the month of March.
The job market has shown little movement for the last six months, but at 4.4 percent, the unemployment rate remains relatively low. Traders will not get an immediate opportunity to react to the jobs report. The stock market will be closed that day for the Good Friday holiday. Scott Horsley, NPR News, Washington.
And U.S. futures contracts are trading lower at this hour, all three major indices down about a half percent. You're listening to NPR News. The paintings of one of the great masters of the High Renaissance, Raphael, will be on display in the U.S. starting today at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Called the Prince of Painters, his portraits are known for their balance and harmony.
The exhibit includes more than 170 paintings, drawings, and tapestries from museums and private collections around the world, and many are being displayed in the U.S. for the first time. Project Hail Mary, a feel-good movie about space voyage, is still soaring at theaters. NPR's Bob Mondello has more.
Ryan Gosling's film about an alien encounter during a long-shot effort to save Earth... No one's ever done this before. ...took off like a rocket last weekend.
It is time go.
I think you mean go time, pal. And apparently the 85% of its audience that said in exit polls that they'd recommend Project Hail Mary to a friend actually recommended it to a friend.
