What is President Trump doing in Scotland and why is it controversial?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Rahm. President Trump is in Scotland for a four day visit. He's to meet with the British Prime Minister and the President of the European Commission to discuss trade. Today he played golf at one of his two golf courses and Demonstrations are being held around the country to protest his visit. French President Emmanuel Macron says France will recognize a Palestinian state, the first G seven member to do so as part of a larger diplomatic peace strategy.
NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports.
The longtime peace activist who advises President Macron on Israeli Palestinian relations says sovereignty forces responsibility. He doesn't believe the October seventh attacks would have happened if there had been a Palestinian state.
I have no doubt about it.
How is French President Emmanuel Macron’s push for a Palestinian state shaping the G‑7 peace strategy?
The best way to find terrorism is to have a responsibility by the Palestinian. When the Palestinian state will be created, it will guarantee the security of Israel.
He says Netanyahu has given no plan for after the war. He believes other European and G seven nations will support the peace plan put forward by France and Saudi Arabia next week at the UN in New York. Eleanor Beersley in Pure News, Paris.
California is considering a state ban on the use of masks by law enforcement officers in response to ICE agents who conceal their faces as they enforce immigration law. NPR's Martin Costi reports.
The California Assembly is considering a bill limiting when law enforcement officers in the state may conceal their faces on the job. It's prompted by federal agents wearing masks as they detain people on immigration charges. Berkeley Law School Dean Erwin Chemarinsky says the feds would likely challenge the state's power to regulate immigration agents.
Why is California proposing a ban on police mask‑wearing and what are the legal arguments?
Federal officers generally have to follow state laws. They have to stop at red lights and stop signs. They can be sued under state law if they use excessive force. I don't think that law enforcement generally needs to wear masks.
Department of Homeland Security officials say federal agents need to protect themselves from activists who put their photos online, which they say may lead to threats against them and their families. Martin Costi, NPR News.
Republican Governor Ron DeSantis says he'll ask the Federal Emergency Management Agency to pay for a new detention facility in the Florida Al Everglade Glades known as Alligator Alcatraz. Tim Paget of Member Station W L O N has more.
Although Alligator Alcatraz is for immigrant detention, which is supposedly a federal function, it's run by Florida's division of emergency management, but apparently DeSantis is going to tap into federal FEMA money

How is Berlin’s Pride Parade reflecting LGBTQ+ visibility in Europe today?
Both sides blame the other for the fighting that broke out Thursday after a Thai soldier lost his leg the day before after stepping on a landmine while on patrol along the disputed border. Thailand's ambassador to the United Nations told a Security Council meeting on Friday that several soldiers have been injured by newly planted mines since July, claims Cambodia rejects. It accuses Thailand of launching, quote, a deliberate, unprovoked, and unlawful military attack, and says Bangkok continues mobilizing troops and equipment along the disputed border. For NPR News, I'm Michael Sullivan in Chiang Rai.
