What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh.
What breaking news did NPR lead with about U.S.-Iran tensions and President Trump's statement?
President Trump says he has agreed to resume talks with Iran. But as NPR's Frank Ordonez tells us, the president says he told the Iranians the ceasefire is over.
President Trump says Iran's leaders reached out to his team asking to continue talks and that they've agreed to do so. But he says in a true social post that the U.S. has stated to them, quote, in no uncertain terms that the ceasefire is over. The U.S. and Iran have been trading significant strikes over the last few days, raising concerns about whether the two sides would be able to reach a final deal to end the war. Trump, who just returned to Washington from the NATO summit in Turkey, warned that more strikes were coming in retribution for Iranian strikes on ships sailing through the Strait of Hormuz.
How did NPR report on recent U.S. and Iranian strikes and the risk of escalation?
But he also insisted that the U.S. would not be returning to full-scale warfare with Iran.
Why is Nolan Wells' family demanding transparency and who is representing them?
The family of Nolan Wells, the 18-year-old student-athlete found dead on a barrier island off Mississippi's coast after the Fourth of July weekend, is demanding transparency in the investigation into their son's unexplained death. They have retained civil rights attorney Ben Crump.
The family has distrust of the Mississippi law enforcement officials, giving them a fair investigation where their black son ended up dead after going out on a boat with three young white men.
Crump joining Wells' family at a news conference today. A new study published in JAMA finds that the number of people who died at the hands of law enforcement increased significantly in recent decades. NPR's Ritu Chatterjee reports young Black males had the highest mortality rate of all groups.
The researchers used mortality files from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics. They found that there had been nearly 12,000 deaths caused by law enforcement officers between 2003 and 2024.
What does the new JAMA study reveal about deaths caused by law enforcement?
That included 270 children. Annual deaths of adults at the hands of law enforcement more than doubled in that time period. For children aged 17 and under, the annual deaths jumped by nearly five times, from 8 to 37.
How did NPR cover Britain's unusual by-election challenger and what was noted about global oil prices?
Nearly 90% of all deaths were caused by firearms. However, the researchers note that deaths by law enforcement are underreported and their analysis may be underestimating the real toll. Dreetu Chatterjee, NPR News.
A man was partially sucked out of a plane's cabin window mid-air, according to local media reports in Greece. Happened on a flight operated by Malta Air, a subsidiary of Ryan Air that had taken off today from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Germany. Ryan Air said in a statement that a window dislodged, no word on how. However, the carrier did not immediately confirm reports about a 61-year-old man's close call on the flight. You're listening to NPR News. What was supposed to be a one-day strike for nearly 4,000 nurses at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston has turned into a five-day strike after the hospital locked out striking nurses through July 13th. The medical personnel walked off the job Wednesday over labor contract impasse.
Britain's had a turbulent summer of politics, with a new prime minister expected this month. But attention has now turned to another special election, which could see the populist right-wing leader, Nigel Farage, come up against an unusual challenger.
What international and domestic incidents were covered next, including the midair window accident and the Boston nurses' strike?
a candidate dressed as a giant garbage can. And PRS Fatima al-Kassab has more.
When Nigel Farage triggered a special by-election this week amid scrutiny over his finances, he declared it a people versus the establishment election. Instead, with all of Britain's main political parties calling it a stunt and refusing to take part, Farage has been left to fight the contest against one main opponent. Count Binface wears a trash can on his head and describes himself as an intergalactic space warrior. He comes from a long tradition of novelty candidates in Britain. This time around, the Count's campaign may be more than just a photo op. He's received thousands of donations so far, and one poll shows Britons favour the man dressed as a trash can over Farage.
