What did President Trump and the British Prime Minister discuss at the Scotland golf club?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Lakshmi Sang. President Trump is hosting the British Prime Minister at his golf club in Scotland. НPR's Franco Ordonia's reports the two are discussing trade and Russia.
The two discussed a series of global challenges from trade to Gaza, but he made news on the war in Ukraine and the lack of a ceasefire. Trump said he was disappointed in Russian president Vladimir Putin after recent strikes killing civilians. And because of that, he was shortening a previous 50-day deadline for a ceasefire to 10 to 12 days, or face massive secondary tariffs on Moscow's trade partners. There's no reason to wait. If you know what the answer is gonna be, why wait? Trump said Russia's economy would be so much better if it was not so focused on war and killing people.
How is the European Union’s new 15% tariff affecting U.S.‑EU trade negotiations?
Franco, Ordonez, NPR News, Turnberry, Scotland.
The European Union is agreeing to a fifteen percent tariff on goods it sells in the US in exchange for letting American made goods into Europe tax free. Bloomberg opinion columnist Lionel Laurent tells NPR the Europeans, as other countries,
I think there was a hope that the EU would be able to kind of really tough it out, it has the tools to retaliate. But in the end it's chosen to kind of accept in a sort of anticlimax this fifteen percent number, which is in line with what Japan got, so it's not a huge surprise. But compared to the terms of trade that the EU had with the US before, there's no retaliation. There's the promise to buy more US goods.
The trade deal still requires approval from the EU's member countries.
Why do Israeli human‑rights groups claim Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide?
Two leading Israeli human rights organizations say they've examined Israel's war in Gaza from a health perspective. They say they believe that Israel's actions constitute genocide under the nineteen forty-eight Genocide Convention, a UN treaty. More from NPR's Emily Fang.
Israel's Betzelem and the Israeli branch for the organization, Physicians for Human Rights, both say in separate reports that Israel's military's actions in Gaza have destroyed the enclave's health care system. In a manner quote, both calculated and systematic. Physicians for Human Rights argues the assault on Gaza's healthcare system is quote part of a deliberate policy targeting Palestinians as a group. And therefore constitutes genocide under the 1948 Convention, which was largely conceived as a response to the Holocaust. David Menser, a spokesperson for Israel's Prime Minister, told reporters the office quote strongly rejects the report's findings. Mencer said Israel's military targets, quote, terrorists and never civilians.
What are the latest updates on U.S. stock markets and the upcoming Senate campaign?

US stocks are mixed this hour, the Dow is down nineteen points, the S P is gained one, the NASDAQ is up fifty. It's NPR News. Демократик форма Говнер Рой Копо сейнфрейна.
I want to serve as your next Unait State Senator. Because even now I still believe our best days are ahead of us.
Cooper formally announcing his campaign in a YouTube video today. He's running to flip the seat held by retiring Republican Senator Tom Tillisp.
How is Marvel’s *Fantastic Four: First Steps* performing at the box office and why does it matter?
Last week, President Trump expressed support for Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Watley after his first choice for the race, daughter in law Laura Trump passed on it. Marvel's Fantastic Four First Steps got off to a superstar to the box office this past weekend, and PR's Bob Mondello has the tales.
In the comic book world, the Fantastic Four are known as Marvel's first family.
Whatever life throws at us. We'll face it together.
But in several previous attempts, the company's been unable to get these superheroes, who are variously stretchy, fiery, rocky, and invisible, to blast off on screen, this time looks different. Fantastic Four First Steps will take in about $118 million in North America this weekend, and it will collect another hundred million dollars overseas. That will put it right about where Superman was for its opening two weeks ago, and there's no blockbuster competition on the horizon, so
It's clever in time
at least through Labor Day.
