Live from MPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder. President Trump has the war in Ukraine on his agenda. Trump's special envoy to Ukraine arrived in Kyiv today, and NATO Chief Mark Ruta is due at the White House this hour after Trump late yesterday confirmed that the US will use NATO to send patriot air defense missiles to help Ukraine defend against Russian aerial attacks. All this is Trump is expected to make what he can do. That he says is a major statement on Russia in Pierre Charles Mainz is in Moscow.
The Kremlin is taking a wait and see approach, uh perhaps waiting also to see whether these US arms deliveries through NATO include more offensive weapons that could strike inside Russia. I think they're also curious to see whether Trump includes new sanctions in his announcement today. Uh in that sense, uh you know it's been interesting to see Moscow remain fairly deferential to Trump, uh turning the other cheek, for example, even when Trump has used profane language to call Putin unserious about negotiations.

Another unresolved issue in the ceasefire talks is Israel's demand to keep troops in a strip of land in order to cordon off a zone in southern Gaza.

What caused the massive wildfires in Arizona’s Grand Canyon and how are authorities responding?
This is MPR News. Authorities in the Boston area are investigating the cause of a deadly fire last night at an assisted living facility. At least nine people were killed at the Gabriel House facility in Fall River and some 30 others injured, including several firefighters. In Arizona, parts of Grand Canyon National Park have been evacuated and a historic lodge has been destroyed by an out-of-control 5,000-acre fire. Adrian Scabaland of Member Station KNAU reports that state officials are demanding an investigation.
The wind driven Dragon Bravo fire jumped containment lines on the park's north rim over the weekend. On Saturday night it grew five hundred acres, destroying more than fifty structures, including the nineteen thirties era Grand Canyon Lodge. Park officials say the fire also burned the water treatment facility, releasing poisonous chlorine gas and forcing firefighters to pull back. The North Rim is closed for the season, while the popular South Rim remains open.
