What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Linda Kenyon.
What did President Trump claim about a Hamas disarmament agreement?
President Trump is claiming negotiators led by his administration have made an agreement for the disarmament of Hamas. NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports.
Trump announced the agreement in a social media post saying it will be carried out in phases. He said that as Hamas disarms, Israeli forces will withdraw from Gaza and an international force will work with Palestinians to take over public safety in Gaza. The administration characterized the agreement as fulfilling part of the 20-point plan to end the war that they announced last year.
How has violence in Gaza continued after last October's ceasefire?
Last October, the U.S. brokered a ceasefire in the war. However, the Israeli military has continued to push into Gaza since then. More than 1,100 Palestinians have been killed since that ceasefire, the U.N. reported this month.
Why is Spain's prime minister visiting North African territory after mass border crossings?
A senior administration official speaking on condition of anonymity said they are confident Israel will adhere to the agreement.
Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR News. Spain's prime minister is visiting Spanish territory in North Africa today. His visit comes as at least 18 deaths have been reported after a drastic increase in border crossings from Morocco. NPR's Miguel Macias reports.
What started as a moderate increase in crossings at one particular point of the border, where a breakwater separates Spain and Morocco, turned into a crisis on Thursday as thousands were seen crossing into Spanish territory. Migrants started swimming around the breakwater with no apparent border control enforcement on the Moroccan side. The Spanish government is deploying its military to the region to support local law enforcement. And both countries agreed to work together for the safe return of those who had crossed the border illegally. Spain has historically relied on Moroccan authorities to control such mass border crossings, but this latest instance is already sparking calls for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to toughen his stance on migration.
What were the circumstances and legal outcome in the Apalachee High School shooting case?
Miguel Macías, NPR News, Seville, Spain.
A judge has sentenced Colin Gray to 15 years in prison. He's the father of convicted Apalachee High School shooter Colton Gray. Colton was sentenced earlier this week to life in prison without the possibility of parole in connection with the 2024 mass shooting that killed two students and two teachers. Another teacher and eight students were wounded. Colin Gray, now 55, was convicted of second-degree murder for giving his son the gun that was used in the shooting. Barrow County District Attorney Brad Smith says Colin had multiple warnings about his son.
These kids are not in a position where they are able to make rational decisions when it comes to things like firearms.
How are Colorado communities affected by monsoon flooding after wildfires?
And we need as a society to step up and realize who should and who should not have access to them.
Colton Gray, who is now 16, had pleaded guilty to murder and other charges. He was 14 at the time of the shootings, the two students who were killed also 14. You're listening to NPR. Flash flooding has forced people to flee their homes in Colorado as monsoon rains fall across areas burned by large wildfires. Colorado Public Radio's Steena Sieg reports more rain is on the way, and that means more problems for residents.
The monsoon could bring more flooding to an area recently burned by one of the largest wildfires in state history.
What approvals did regulators give for robo-taxis and how might they expand service?
Hours west, Ouray County has seen days of flooding and debris flows. County spokesperson Jennifer Peterson says burn scars can cause floods for years after a fire moves through.
Any water that hits it is basically just going to roll right off the top and take any debris that is left over from the fire, meaning debris. any ash and downed trees, limbs, all those things, and it just carries all that debris with it.
Monsoon rains typically last through at least August. For NPR News, I'm Stina Sieg in Grand Junction, Colorado.
Federal regulators are clearing the way for robo-taxis to operate without steering wheels or even brake pedals. Amazon's fully autonomous vehicles now have approval to begin charging customers for rides in the specially designed cars.
