What new ultimatum did President Trump give Russia over the Ukraine war?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingley. President Trump is giving Russia another fifty days to agree to a deal to end the war in Ukraine. Otherwise, Trump says the US will impose one hundred percent secondary tariffs on Moscow. The President made the announcement yesterday at the White House where he met with NATO's Secretary General. The president says the US will sell weapons to NATO allies for use by Ukraine in its war with Russia. As NPR's Greg Meyery reports, it marks a shift in policy for the Trump administration.

A federal appeals court is temporarily blocking President Trump's attempt to remove protections for nearly twelve thousand Afghans who are in the US.
What did the Supreme Court decide about the Trump administration's plan to dismantle the Department of Education?
As NPR's Ryland Barton reports, the order was issued as those protections were set to expire.
Last week a lower court didn't grant a request to keep protections in place while the lawsuit plays out, but last night the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals did for a week. The court didn't explain its decision, but said protections will remain in place until next Monday, while the Department of Homeland Security and Nonprofit Immigrant Advocacy Group CASA argue the case. Temporary protected status allows people fleeing persecution, natural disasters, and war to legally stay. and work in the U.S., the Trump administration argues Afghans no longer need protection and that conditions have improved in Afghanistan. But some Afghans who helped the U.S. during the war in their home country say they'll face persecution if they go back.
Ryland Barton, NPR News.
The US Supreme Court says the Trump administration can resume its efforts to dismantle the Department of Education.
How are recent severe weather events impacting the northeastern US and Texas?
The High Court is staying a preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge in Massachusetts last month. That injunction directed the administration to stop eliminating employees and to reinstate nearly fourteen hundred workers who'd been laid off. On Truth Social last night, Trump called the Supreme Court ruling a major victory that will help return the functions of the department back to the states. Heavy rains moved across areas of the northeastern US last night, resulting in flash flooding in parts of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. New Jersey's governor declared a state of emergency. High water forced authorities to close roads and subway lines. This is NPR News. More than one hundred sixty people are still missing in central Texas as a result of flooding along the Guadalupe River earlier this month.
At least one hundred and thirty two others are confirmed dead. Search teams continue looking through debris to try to recover additional bodies.
Why are cases of young children ingesting nicotine products rising dramatically?
It's not clear what sparked Sunday night's deadly fire at an assisted living facility in Fall River, Massachusetts, but the local district attorney's office says the fire does not appear to be suspicious. Police say nine people were killed and at least thirty others were injured when fire and heavy smoke moved through the Gabriel House facility about fifty miles south of Boston. A new study finds the number of young children in the U.S. accidentally swallowing nicotine products has soared in recent years. Here's NPR's Maria Gadoy.
The study found that between 2010 and 2023, US poison centers received about 135,000 reports of young children accidentally ingesting nicotine products. Most cases occurred at home in children under the age of two. While most children experienced no side effects or only minor ones, serious effects occurred in 39 children and two children died. The researchers say most cases of ingestion involved liquid nicotine, the kind used in vapes.
