What did President Trump do during his trip to Scotland?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Rahm. President Trump has wrapped up a trip to Scotland by opening a second golf course at his Aberdeen Golf Club. NPR's Franca Ordonias reports.
President Trump traveled to Aberdeen, Scotland with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and met with Scottish First Minister John Sweeney. He later appeared on the first T of the new course, dressed in golf gear with a white glove.
Had some conflict, but we've ironed out a lot of it. Uh we're gonna have a great and peaceful world and On a much smaller scale, this will be a tremendously successful place and a place where people can come and enjoy life.
Standing next to his sons and holding a large pair of scissors, Trump then cut a red ribbon stretched along the first T before taking the first drive on the new course.
What are the alleged abuses faced by Venezuelan men deported to El Salvador?
Franco, Ordonas, NPR News, Aberdeen, Scotland.
Some of the Venezuelan men deported from the US to El Salvador are describing their stay in a maximum security prison. As Serio Martinez Beltron reports, the men say they were beaten, sexually abused, and denied adequate food.
One of the men is nineteen-year-old Carlos Daniel Teran. He was sent to Secot in March as part of President Trump's mass deportation efforts.
Why are Palestinians and Israelis staging hunger strikes over Gaza’s starvation crisis?
That was hell, says Teran. He says guards at Secoch stomped on the men with their heavy boots and hit them with batons. He says one time they shot at them with rubber pellets. El Salvador's government did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security called the allegations, quote, false substories. The Trump administration paid El Salvador six million dollars. To house the men, the White House said they were gang members, but many of them, including Teran, do not have a criminal record in the US. Sergio Martinez Beltran, NPR News.
What motivated the Las Vegas shooter’s attack on an office building near the NFL headquarters?
Unprecedented levels of hunger in Gaza have prompted global outrage and joint Jewish and Palestinian protests. NPR's Emily Fang reports from Tel Aviv.
Hunger strikes from Tel Aviv in Israel to Ramallah in the West Bank are ongoing this week. Omar Asaf is one of the more than two dozen Palestinian activists going hungry in Ramallah to raise awareness of starvation in Gaza.
He
told NPR producer Nuhamusleigh that previously Palestinians did not do enough to show support for Gaza in part because they were nervous of being detained or arrested.
Who are the debut novelists nominated for this year’s Booker Prize and what are their books about?
Sami Abu Shihada, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, is organizing another hunger strike in Tel Aviv.
We are doing this in order that we will not lose our humanity. We are doing part of our this activity to ourselves, to our children, to our society.
He says he hopes through the hunger strikes that Israelis of all backgrounds keep their empathy for other human beings. Emily Fang and Pure News Tel Aviv.
And you're listening to NPR News in Washington. New York City Mayor Eric Adams says the man who opened fire in an office building yesterday may have been targeting the NFL headquarters there. He had been carrying a note that said the NFL doesn't do enough to address damage caused by head trauma. The twenty seven year old man from Las Vegas killed four people. including an off duty city police officer. The long list for this year's Booker Prize has just been announced.
