What happened after U.S. forces reported a service member killed in Iraq?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst. The U.S. military says another U.S. service member has died after escalated fighting with Iran. NPR's Shonda Lee Stuster has more.
U.S.
How did CENTCOM describe the cause and casualties from the downed Iranian drone?
Central Command says an American service member was killed in action Saturday in northern Iraq. The service member was killed in a controlled detonation of an unexploded weapon from a downed Iranian drone. CENTCOM also says another U.S. service member was injured and is being treated for a minor injury. This is the third U.S. service member killed since Friday when two American service members were killed during an Iranian attack in Jordan.
What charges and extradition actions involve Andrew and Tristan Tate in Miami?
Four others were medically evacuated but have been discharged from Jordanian hospitals. U.S. Central Command also says unidentified remains were found at the site of the attack in Jordan and are being examined. Shondalese Duster, NPR News.
Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested by U.S. Marshals in Miami. They're facing rape and sex trafficking charges in the U.K. Empire's Lauren Frayer reports British prosecutors are seeking their extradition.
The United Kingdom's Crown Prosecution Service says Andrew Tate faces seven further counts of rape, three counts related to trafficking, three of assault, and 19 for pornography. Tristan Tate faces an additional count of sexual assault, two of rape and three related to trafficking. This is in connection with offenses to four additional victims between 2010 and 2017. The Tate brothers are kickboxers turned social media stars and are dual British American citizens.
What are the key provisions of the SAVE America Act and Republican responses?
They already faced 21 previous charges and have denied any wrongdoing. British prosecutors confirm the Taits have been arrested by U.S. Marshals and await extradition to the U.K. Lauren Fryer, NPR News, London.
One of the goals of President Trump's speech on election security last week was to create support for the Save America Act. NPR's Myra Liason reports it's a bill that would change the way U.S. elections are run.
The SAVE Act would, among other things, require a passport or birth certificate to register to vote, and it would curtail mail-in voting. President Trump says it will help Republicans.
If we terminate the filibuster, as we should do, and immediately vote for the SAVE America Act, then we will not lose an election. For a hundred years.
Polls show a majority of Americans approve of requiring photo ID to vote, but they don't want to get rid of mail-in voting, which is popular in many red states.
How are global education budgets and debt repayment affecting developing countries?
Republican leaders in the Senate have told the president they don't have the votes to pass the bill and are not willing to end the filibuster. And some Republicans say they'd rather the president tell voters how he will solve problems more important to them this year, such as high prices for gas, food, and housing. Mara Liason, NPR News.
Spain has won the 2026 Men's Soccer World Cup, beating Argentina 1-0 in extra time. You're listening to NPR News. A new report says most developing countries spend more money repaying foreign debt and less on education in the last year. Many of those countries are already facing shortfalls in education funding due to aid cuts by the United States and other wealthy nations, as NPR's Fatma Tanis reports.
The UN's Culture and Education Agency says low investment in education is keeping countries trapped, stalling their economic growth. For the seventh year in a row, the out-of-school population in 113 low- and middle-income countries has risen, reaching 273 million in 2024. Some countries like Afghanistan, Mali and Niger have lost more than 40% of education assistance over the past three years due to global aid cuts. It's not all bad news. In Cote d'Ivoire, the report says school dropouts have declined significantly after the government made schooling free and compulsory.
Who won recent international sports titles and how did they make history?
The UN says more countries need to make policy changes to prioritize education. Fatma Tanis, NPR News.
At the British Open, Ryan Fox is the first New Zealander since 1963 to win the British Open. That's one of golf's most prestigious tournaments.
