Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder.
What are President Trump's expectations for his talk with Xi Jinping about the Iran war?
Before leaving for China Tuesday, President Trump said he expects to have a long talk with Chinese leader Xi Jinping about the Iran war. But he said he does not think he needs Xi's help to bring the war to an end.
He could. I mean, it might be. I don't think we need any help with Iran, to be honest with you.
How is the Iran war affecting inflation and consumer prices in the U.S.?
They're defeated militarily, and they'll either do the right thing or we'll finish the job.
Trump is set to land in Beijing Wednesday with the Strait of Hormuz still effectively closed to oil and natural gas tankers. China is a major buyer of Iranian oil and maintains ties with Iran, whose foreign minister was in Beijing last week. Fresh data from the Labor Department shows the Iran war has pushed inflation to its highest level in almost three years. The latest cost of living reports as consumer prices in April were up 3.8 percent from a year ago, with prices jumping six-tenths of a percent in the last month alone. The U.N.
What impact are Israeli military operations having on Palestinian children in the West Bank?
Children's Agency says Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank are paying what it calls an intolerable price for Israeli military operations and settler attacks across the occupied West Bank. UNICEF says at least one child has been killed there every week since the start of last year. NPR's Ruth Sherlock reports.
UNICEF says 70 Palestinian children have been killed in the occupied West Bank since January last year, 93% by Israeli forces. Another 850 have been wounded. Palestinians face an unprecedented number of settler attacks. Incidents documented by UNICEF include children shot, stabbed, beaten and pepper sprayed.
What does the new study reveal about firearm safety in homes with children?
Education is under what it calls sustained assault, with 99 documented incidences this year alone. For thousands of children across the Occupied West Bank, UNICEF says daily travel to school has become a walk through fear. Ruth Sherlock, NPR News, Ramallah in the Occupied West Bank.
A new study finds nearly 7 million children live in a home with at least one firearm that's kept unlocked and loaded. NPR's Ritu Chatterjee reports.
Researchers surveyed nearly 900 gun-owning parents with kids younger than 18 years in the home and asked them how they store their guns. Study author Dr. Matthew Miller is a public health researcher at Northeastern University. He says nearly one in five respondents had at least one firearm stored in the least safe way possible, unlocked and loaded.
So you pick it up and you can fire it. You don't have to unlock it. It's ready to go.
When they analyzed their results by age of the kids, they found that more parents chose to leave their firearms unlocked and loaded when their kids were in their teens compared to parents of younger children. But Miller says teenagers are already at a higher risk of suicide and easy access to firearms increases that risk. Ritu Chatterjee, NPR News.
This is NPR News. Two years after the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, Maryland has finalized a multi-billion dollar settlement with the owner and operator of the cargo ship Dolly. The vessel lost power, struck the bridge, killing six construction workers and temporarily shutting down the Port of Baltimore, one of the country's busiest auto shipping hubs.
What are the details of the settlement regarding the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse?
One boy come out. Members station WIPR reports.
Maryland's Attorney General Anthony Brown says the state has reached a $2.25 billion settlement with the owner and operator of the Dolly, avoiding a trial set for next month. The companies had argued maritime law limited their liability to about $44 million. Brown says the state will continue pursuing claims against the shipbuilder, Hyundai Heavy Industries, which federal investigators say was responsible for for the systems tied to the ship's power failure. Meanwhile, separate lawsuits filed by the families of the six workers killed in the collapse are still moving through the courts. For NPR News, I'm Wambui Kamau in Baltimore.
