What recent developments occurred in the Israel-Hezbollah conflict?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. The U.S. says Israel and Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militant group, have agreed to a ceasefire. The continued fighting in Lebanon led to the postponement of talks on a ceasefire deal between the U.S. and Iran scheduled for today in Switzerland. Empire's Kerry Kahn has more from Tel Aviv.
The announcement comes as clashes between Israel and the militants escalated overnight with intensified Israeli bombardments, killing at least 47 people and injuring 97, according to Lebanese health officials. Four Israeli soldiers were killed by Hezbollah. Israel says it will not withdraw troops from southern Lebanon, where it occupies a great swath of the country. The mayor of Nabatea told NPR immediately following the 4 p.m. start of the ceasefire, multiple Israeli airstrikes hit targets in the area lasting at least 20 minutes, including one in the heart of his Lebanese city. Carrie Khan, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
The Obama Presidential Center opened this week in Chicago, and as NPR's Tamara Keith reports, it presents an America where the past 10 years never happened.
President Trump isn't a presence in the Obama Presidential Museum, though many of the milestones on the timeline of Obama's two terms displayed in the museum have since been reversed by Trump. And in his speech dedicating the center, Obama criticized his successor without saying his name.
For us to give it now. After all this country's been through, to cynicism and division would be a betrayal of our founding ideals.
Trump, on the other hand, criticizes Obama by name frequently and without prompting. And Obama wouldn't do it. Like at his G7 press conference this week, where he said Obama's name eight times. Tamara Keith, NPR News, Chicago.
The Department of Homeland Security is canceling its plan to put an immigration and customs enforcement detention facility in a Georgia town. It's one of several warehouses around the country where similar conversion plans are reportedly being scrapped. Molly Samuel from Member Station WABE in Atlanta has more.
There had been outcry over the warehouse plans, which took shape under former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Officials in the City of Social Circle worried about water and sewer capacity and how close the warehouse was to an elementary school. Last month, the Georgetown sued the federal government. Senator Raphael Warnock reacted to the cancellation in a news conference.
These things that were happening in the quiet of night, we shined a light on it. We elevated it. The people raised their voices. And they got their victory.
City officials said Congressman Mike Collins confirmed the cancellation. DHS says the agency is moving to use existing detention space. For NPR News, I'm Mollie Samuel in Atlanta.
Wall Street is closed today in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. You're listening to NPR News. More young adults are living with their parents. About 25 million in 2025. That's according to Realtor.com. NPR's Stephen Basaja reports that's near the all-time high set during the early days of the pandemic.
This is not a case of just get a job so you can move out. 70% of these adults under 35 are employed. Hannah Jones is a senior economist with Realtor.com and says this is really about housing costs. Young adults did move out around 2022 when mortgage rates were low.
Since 2022, as housing costs have remained, you know, extremely high, mortgage rates increased, home prices remained quite high. A lot of, you know, that window of opportunity closed for a lot of young adults. And so that means that they're staying at home for longer.
Realtor.com reports the median home listing price is up 34% since before the pandemic. Since 2000, about twice as many adults in their early 30s are living with their parents. Stephen Basaja, NPR News.
