Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Okay.
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Rahm. President Trump has named current housing official Bill Pulte to serve as the acting director of national intelligence. Pulte has no experience in the intelligence field and will continue to oversee the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Chapter 2: Who has President Trump appointed as the acting director of national intelligence?
Senator Mark Warner of Virginia is the leading Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. He's troubled by the choice and says he's not alone. But now you've got a guy...
who, again, loyal only to Trump, and he's going to have all 18 agencies to oversee. I think it is that kind of unpredictability, that kind of potential abuse, that's even got my Republicans concerned.
Warner was interviewed on CNN's State of the Union. A drive-by shooting in the West Bank today has left one Israeli man dead. Officials say five other Israelis were injured in the attack. NPR's Greg Myrie reports from Tel Aviv... The gunman was also killed.
The deadly shooting took place at a gas station in central Israel that's close to the boundary with the West Bank. Israeli police said the gunman fled in his car and continued shooting, wounding several more Israelis nearby. The suspect, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, was then shot dead. Israelis and Palestinians clash frequently in the West Bank.
Such attacks are much less common inside Israel. On Friday in the West Bank, Israeli troops fired into a car at a checkpoint and killed a seven-month-old boy. The Palestinian family said the car was stopped at the time of the shooting. Both parents were injured. The military acknowledged the shooting and said it was investigating. Greg Myrie, NPR News, Tel Aviv.

Every night for the past week, thousands of Albanians have marched along the main thoroughfare in the capital Tirana, each time ending up in front of Prime Minister Eddie Rama's office to protest his government's lack of transparency surrounding Kushner's project on a wildlife preserve.
At a protest yesterday at the proposed site of the resort in Svernic, Albi Batozi was among hundreds concerned about the project.
Because it will not be for me, it will be just for that 1% of millionaires.
