What new humanitarian aid is Israel delivering to Gaza and how will it work?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. Israel says it's resuming aid drops into Gaza and will create humanitarian corridors to enable UN convoys to travel safely into the Strip. Empire's Eleanor Beersley reports the move comes amidst an international outcry as famine conditions in Gaza worsen.
The IDF says the humanitarian airdrop operation will be carried out in coordination with international aid організаtions. The airdrop will include pallets of supplies, flour, sugar, and canned food provided by international partners. The Israeli Army said it will also facilitate the expansion of water desalination in the Gaza Strip by connecting the desalination plant to Israeli electricity. The Israeli government has come under increasing international pressure and has been accused of withholding aid to Gaza. Eleanor Beersley in PR News Tel Aviv.
President Trump is in Scotland this weekend for a little golf and diplomatic business. And Pierce Franco Ordonia's reports tomorrow Trump hosts trade talks with European Union President Ursula von der Leyen.
How are President Trump’s EU trade talks being affected by the Epstein controversy?
Trump said there's about a fifty fifty chance of reaching a new trade deal ahead of next week's deadline for new tariffs on the EU. But overshadowing the trip is the political firestorm in the US about Jeffrey Epstein.
I'm not focused on conspiracy theories that you are. I mean I watch you people, it's it's so sad. You're to talk about the success of our country.
Trump has been trying to distance himself from the Epstein controversy, but he's facing backlash from supporters who want more information. Franco Ordonas NPR News Glasgow.
Today marks the thirty-fifth anniversary since the Americans with Disabilities Act became law. In Pyrizuki Naguchi reports, advocates for disability rights say recent cuts to federal funds will hamper future ability to enforce it.
The landmark nineteen ninety law created new opportunities and protections for people with disabilities. Giving them rights to sue for discrimination and finding things like homes and jobs.
Why are disability‑rights advocates concerned about federal funding cuts on the ADA’s 35th anniversary?
Federal funds that filtered to state disability rights groups, for example, enabled people to bring discrimination cases that helped crack down on violations like abuse or forced labor. Now, as they mark progress over the past three and a half decades, disability rights advocates also worry about massive cuts to federal funding, as well as new requirements for Medicaid recipients. Yukinaguchi and PR News. In
Michigan, authorities are investigating a multiple stabbing incident at a Walmart in Traverse City. Munson Healthcare says it's treating eleven victims, but their condition isn't known. Police say in a post on X that a suspect is in custody, but details are limited. You're listening to NPR News. Meta says it will stop all political advertising in the EU by October. The Facebook and Instagram parent company blames legal uncertainty over new rules designed to increase transparency in election campaigns. The company says it's making the move because of the twenty-seven nation EU's quote, unworkable transparency and targeting of political ad regulations that it says creates significant operational challenges and legal uncertainties.
What happened during the multiple‑stabbing incident at a Michigan Walmart and what is the investigation status?
Last year, Google said it too would stop political ads in the EU, citing similar concerns. Meta is a financial supporter of NPRT. New research is showing just how much illegal fishing goes on around the world, and Pierre's Lawrence Summer reports satellite technology is showing where fishing chips previously went undetected.
Most of the global seafood catch is brought in by large industrial ships, basically floating factories at sea that can travel for months or years. It's been tough for marine scientists to figure out if they're fishing in places they shouldn't. Many ships have GPS transponders, but they can be disabled. Now satellite-based radar is revealing their movements. Two studies in Madernal Science looked at that data. They found in places where fishing is banned, there's little fishing going on.
Why is Meta halting political advertising in the EU and what does it mean for future elections?
But in protected areas where the restrictions are looser, two-thirds of them had industrial fishing that was previously undetected.
