Why is President Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin deteriorating?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman. President Trump's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be on a downward spiral. Despite Trump's lobbying for an end to Russia's war in Ukraine, Putin has yet to agree to a ceasefire deal. And Pierre Zelena Moore has more on that story.
Speaking to reporters Sunday evening, Trump avoided directly answering a question on whether he would impose sanctions on Russia on Monday. Instead, he issued a new rebuke of the Kremlin's leader.
But I am very disappointed with President Putin. You know, I thought he was Uh somebody that meant what he said and he'll talk so beautifully and then he'll bomb people at night.
How is FEMA responding to the deadly Texas floods and what changes are being made?
We don't like that.
Trump's comments come days after he told NBC News that he would make a major statement Monday regarding Russia. Congress also wants the president to crack down on Putin. There's a bipartisan effort in the Senate that would give Trump what Republican Senator Lindsey Graham described as a sledgehammer to go after Putin and the Russian economy. Elena Moore and Pierre News, Washington.
Homeland Security Secretary Christine Noam defended FIMA's response to deadly floods in Texas last week. Speaking in NBC's Meet the Press, she said her agency reacted quickly, and she said FIMA is streamlining the way they respond to crises.
The president recognizes that FIMA should not exist the way that it always has been. It needs to be redeployed in a new way, and that's what we did during this response.
What are the latest developments and obstacles in the Gaza cease‑fire negotiations?
Noam also denied that a memo she sent in June requiring her approval of any FEMA expenditures over one hundred thousand dollars had caused the agency to move more slowly. Talks aimed at securing a ceasefire in Gaza with representatives from Israel and Hamas have yet to produce any deal. MPR's Ruth Sherlach reports on the ongoing negotiations.
There were hopes last week for a ceasefire in Gaza, with President Trump indicating the two sides may only be days away from a deal. That hasn't happened, but the Israeli Prime Minister's office confirms talks are ongoing. An Israeli source, briefed on the matter, not authorized to speak about it publicly, tells MPR the main disagreement is over Israel's demand to keep troops in a strategic corridor in Gaza. Israeli officials are considering moving Palestinians to an isolated zone in the south of the Gaza Strip. Hamas opposes this. The talks continue as the Palestinian death toll in Gaza in this 21-month war surpassed 58%.
Why did emergency crews pause flood‑search operations in central Texas?
eight thousand people, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza. Ruth Sherlock, MPR News.
Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, meanwhile, are continuing this weekend. Gaza health officials say at least thirty-two people were killed by one strike at a water collection point. Six of those killed were children. Emergency crews temporarily suspended their search for victims of catastrophic flooding in central Texas on Sunday. The halt came with new warnings that additional rain would again cause waterways to surge. You're listening to NPR News. Two women were killed Sunday in a shooting at a church in Lexington, Kentucky.
What happened in the Lexington, Kentucky church shooting and how did police respond?
The incident began when the suspected shooter was pulled over by a state trooper. The suspect shot and wounded the officer, then drove to the church where he opened fire. He was later shot and killed by police. Officials say the suspect may have had a connection to people at the church. The world's top ranked tennis player Yannick Sinner is this year's Wimbledon winner. His four set win over Carlos Alcaraz is the latest chapter in the rivalry between the two young players. MPR's Becky Sullivan has more.
Sunday's final was a rematch of last month's epic French Open final, which the twenty two year old Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz won after a five and a half hour long duel. This time it was Center's Day.
How did Yannick Sinner win Wimbledon over Carlos Alcaraz and what does it mean for their rivalry?
His powerful shot sent Alcaraz running this way and that, and the trophy was his after four sets. 4-6-6464-64. Afterward, Sinner applauded his opponent.
Center and Alcarez are the world's two top ranked players. Over the past year, they've put serious distance between themselves and the rest of the field.
